These Fresh Rainbow Veggie Hummus Wraps are a quick, colorful, and nutritious snack perfect for kids. They combine crunchy veggies, creamy hummus, and soft tortillas for a fun and healthy treat.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free if needed)
  • Hummus (classic or flavored)
  • Carrots, peeled and julienned
  • Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • Baby spinach leaves
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Avocado, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and dry all veggies thoroughly. Peel and julienne the carrots, slice the red bell pepper into thin strips, and cut the cucumber into thin rounds or matchsticks. If using cherry tomatoes, halve them. (Approx. 10 minutes)
  2. Season the veggies: In a mixing bowl, toss the veggies lightly with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. This step brightens the flavors and adds a subtle zing. (2 minutes)
  3. Lay out the tortilla: Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface or plate. Using a spreading knife, spread a generous, even layer of hummus over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges. (2 minutes)
  4. Layer the veggies: Arrange the seasoned veggies in a neat line or rainbow pattern across the center of the tortilla. Start with the carrots for crunch, then layer the red peppers, cucumbers, spinach leaves, and cherry tomatoes (if using). For avocado slices, add them on top for creaminess. (5 minutes)
  5. Roll the wrap: Carefully fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the veggies, then tuck in the sides and continue rolling tightly until fully wrapped. If the tortilla cracks, warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it more pliable. (3 minutes)
  6. Slice and serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap diagonally into manageable pieces. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in plastic wrap for later. (2 minutes)

Notes

Warm tortillas slightly if they crack during rolling. Pat veggies dry to avoid sogginess. Spread hummus evenly but not too thick. Wrap tightly but gently to keep filling secure. Prepare veggies and hummus ahead to save time. Store wraps wrapped tightly in fridge up to 24 hours.
