3. Add optional toppings.

Sprinkle with chopped herbs, avocado slices, and feta cheese if using.

4. Roll the wrap.

Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling.

Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for easy transport.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Use a sharp knife to slice the vegetables thinly, which helps them roll tightly in the wrap. Peeling and julienning carrots ensures they are tender enough to bite easily while maintaining crunch. Spreading hummus evenly and leaving a small margin prevents overfill and makes wrapping simpler.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap hummus for cream cheese or any favorite dairy-free spread to vary the flavor. Add grilled chicken or tofu to boost protein content. Gluten-free tortillas can be used to accommodate dietary needs while keeping the wraps delicious.

Serviervorschläge

Pair these wraps with a small container of fresh fruit for a balanced and complete lunch. Serve cold or at room temperature for an easy, grab-and-go meal that stays fresh throughout the day.
