Introduction

These vegan veggie wraps are a fresh, colorful, and nutritious meal perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Packed with crisp veggies, creamy hummus, and a hint of spice, they are simple to prepare and wonderfully satisfying.

The image shows two wraps stacked on a white plate, placed on a white marbled surface. Each wrap has a golden-brown, slightly crunchy outer layer with grilled marks. Inside, there are visible layers starting with fresh green lettuce at the bottom, followed by creamy white sauce with green herb specks drizzled on top, then chunks of cucumber in dark green, diced red tomatoes, and small pieces of red onion. A soft, yellowish filling resembling scrambled eggs or chickpeas adds texture, seen inside the open ends of the wraps. In the blurred background, there are bowls with chopped vegetables in green and red colors. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 whole wheat tortillas
4 tablespoons hummus
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 medium carrot, grated
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced into strips
1/2 avocado, sliced
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Sriracha or chili flakes (for spicy kick)
1/2 cup chickpeas, black beans, or baked tofu (for protein boost)
Different greens: kale, arugula, or mixed salad greens (optional substitution for spinach)
Pesto, tahini, or vegan cream cheese (optional alternate spreads)
Grilled zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms (optional for smoky twist)

Instructions

Step 1: Wash and dry all fresh produce thoroughly. Thinly slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Grate the carrot. Toss the spinach leaves lightly with lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to season and brighten the flavors.
Step 2: Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the entire tortilla to create a creamy base that holds the veggies in place and adds richness.
Step 3: Place a handful of the seasoned spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla. Evenly distribute the grated carrot, cucumber slices, red bell pepper strips, avocado slices, cherry tomatoes, and your choice of chickpeas, black beans, or baked tofu over the greens for balanced flavors and texture.
Step 4: Add a drizzle of Sriracha or sprinkle chili flakes if you want a spicy kick. Optionally, add grilled veggies or alternative spreads for extra flavor.
Step 5: Gently fold in the sides of the tortilla, then tightly roll it from one end to the other to form a neat wrap. Use a small amount of hummus on the edge to seal if needed. Slice the wrap diagonally for classic presentation and easy eating.

Tips & Variations

Try swapping spinach for kale or arugula for a different green and a slightly stronger flavor.
Use pesto, tahini, or vegan cream cheese instead of hummus for a new twist on the base.
Add grilled zucchini, eggplant, or mushrooms to introduce a smoky, rich flavor to your wrap.
For extra protein, include chickpeas, black beans, or baked tofu as part of the filling.
If you prefer a spicier wrap, increase the amount of Sriracha or chili flakes to taste.

Storage

Wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To prevent sogginess, keep any wet ingredients separate and add them just before eating when possible. Reheat briefly in a warm pan or eat cold for a crisp, refreshing meal.

How to Serve

The image shows two grilled wraps stacked on a wooden board. Each wrap has a light brown, slightly charred flatbread exterior with visible grill marks. Inside, the wraps are filled with colorful layers of chopped vegetables including bright red tomatoes, deep purple onions, yellow bell peppers, and green zucchini slices. There are also fresh green leafy herbs and a creamy white sauce dotted throughout the filling. Small green leaves are placed on top of the wraps as garnish. The background is a white marbled texture, and the focus is sharp on the front wrap with a soft blur on the second one and the background. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these wraps ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the fillings and store them separately, but it’s best to assemble the wraps just before eating to keep the tortillas from becoming soggy.

What can I use if I don’t have hummus?

You can substitute hummus with pesto, tahini, or vegan cream cheese depending on your preference; these all add creaminess and help hold the ingredients together.
