A wrap is a flatbread filled with ingredients, rolled up and eaten as a handheld meal.
They are fast to make, customizable, and great for using up leftovers.
You can make them with any protein, vegetable, or sauce you have on hand.
About the Ingredients
4 large flour tortillas
Use store-bought or homemade tortillas. If you don’t have flour tortillas, try corn or whole wheat for a different texture.
1 cup (240ml) hummus
Hummus adds a creamy texture and is a great base for veggie wraps. You can substitute with mashed avocado or Greek yogurt for a different taste.
1 cup (150g) shredded carrots
Carrots add crunch and color. Use any shredded veggies you have, like zucchini or bell peppers.
1/2 cup (75g) chopped cucumber
Cucumber adds a refreshing crunch. If you don’t have fresh cucumber, use pickled for a tangy twist.
1/2 cup (50g) chopped red onion
Onion adds a sharp flavor. Try green onion or shallots if you prefer a milder taste.
3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil
Olive oil adds richness and helps the tortillas stay soft. Substitute with any neutral oil or melted butter.
2 tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
Lemon juice brightens the flavors. Use vinegar or lime juice if you don’t have lemon.
1/4 teaspoon salt
Salt enhances the flavors. Reduce the amount if your ingredients are already salty.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the tortillas
Take 4 large flour tortillas and warm them up slightly in a pan or microwave. This makes them more pliable and helps them hold the fillings better.
2. Spread the base
Use a spoon to spread 1/4 cup of hummus on each tortilla. This provides a creamy texture and serves as a flavor base for the rest of the ingredients.
3. Add the vegetables
Top each tortilla with 1/4 cup of shredded carrots and 1/4 cup of chopped cucumber. These add crunch and freshness to the wrap.
4. Add the onion
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of chopped red onion over the vegetables. This adds a sharp, tangy flavor to the wrap.
5. Drizzle the oil and lemon juice
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice over the fillings. This enhances the flavor and adds a slight dressing to the wrap.
6. Season with salt
Sprinkle 1/8 teaspoon of salt over each wrap. This brings out the natural flavors of the ingredients.
7. Roll the wraps
Roll each tortilla tightly, starting from one of the short sides. Make sure the fillings are evenly distributed and the wrap is secure.
8. Serve immediately
Serve the wraps right away for the best texture. If you need to store them, wrap each in parchment paper or foil to keep them fresh.
