# What You'll Need:
→ Spinach Hummus
01 - 1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
02 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach
03 - 1 large garlic clove
04 - 3 tablespoons tahini
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
06 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
08 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
09 - 2 to 3 tablespoons cold water, as needed
→ Wraps and Fillings
10 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas
11 - 1 cup shredded carrots
12 - 1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
13 - 1/2 cup English cucumber, sliced
14 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
15 - 1/2 avocado, sliced
16 - 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or non-dairy yogurt alternative (optional)
17 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
# Directions:
01 - In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, baby spinach, garlic clove, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, and kosher salt. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until a creamy, spreadable consistency is reached.
02 - Lay each whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of the spinach hummus evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
03 - Arrange the shredded carrots, sliced red bell pepper, cucumber slices, red onion rings, and avocado slices across the center of each tortilla. Drizzle with yogurt if using, and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro.
04 - Fold the left and right sides of each tortilla inward toward the center, then roll the bottom edge up tightly to form a secure wrap. Slice each wrap in half on a diagonal. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for a portable lunch.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The spinach hummus is a sneaky way to eat more greens without tasting them at all.
- These wraps store beautifully in parchment paper for a lunch that actually holds together until noon.
02 -
- Wet vegetables are the enemy of a good wrap, so pat everything dry before assembling.
- The hummus tastes better after resting in the fridge for thirty minutes while the flavors settle.
03 -
- Process the hummus longer than you think necessary because overprocessing is impossible but underprocessing leaves gritty chunks.
- Warm tortillas for ten seconds in a dry skillet and they will never tear on you again.
