Ingredients

• Wraps: 4 large whole wheat tortillas
• Spreads: 4 tbsp hummus (classic or flavored)
• Vegetables: 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced; 1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced; 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned; 1 small cucumber, julienned; 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded; 1 cup baby spinach leaves; 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Add-ons (optional): 1 avocado, sliced; 4 tbsp crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the base

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border.

Step 2: Arrange the vegetables

Arrange the sliced bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, and spinach in horizontal rows across the center of the tortilla to create a rainbow effect.

Step 3: Add optional toppings

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

Step 4: Roll the wrap

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

Step 5: Repeat

Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings.

Step 6: Slice and pack

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

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To ensure your wraps stay fresh and don't become soggy, make sure to dry your vegetables thoroughly after washing, especially the spinach and cucumber. Pat them with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner. When spreading the hummus, keep it to a thin, even layer—too much moisture can make the tortilla soggy over time. If you're preparing these wraps the night before, store them in the refrigerator wrapped tightly in parchment paper or foil, and they'll stay fresh for up to 24 hours. For best results, keep any wet ingredients like tomatoes separate and add them just before eating.

Varianten und Anpassungen

These rainbow veggie wraps are incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit different tastes and dietary needs. Swap hummus for cream cheese or a dairy-free spread if desired. Add grilled chicken or tofu for extra protein to make it more filling. Use gluten-free tortillas to make this recipe gluten-free. You can also experiment with different vegetables based on what's in season or what you have on hand—shredded beets, thinly sliced radishes, or snap peas all work beautifully. For a spicier kick, add a drizzle of sriracha or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the hummus before spreading.

Serviervorschläge

Pair these rainbow veggie wraps with a small container of fresh fruit for a complete lunch. They also go wonderfully with a side of baked sweet potato chips, a handful of mixed nuts, or a light pasta salad. For a more substantial meal, serve them alongside a bowl of tomato soup or a cup of miso soup. If you're packing them for a picnic or potluck, arrange the halved wraps on a platter with toothpicks and serve with extra hummus, tzatziki, or ranch dressing for dipping. They're also perfect as an appetizer when cut into smaller pinwheel-style slices.
