Epic Hummus Wraps

Serves 1
One of my all time vegan foods is hummus. You can eat it as a dip, use it as a filling, or even thin it out to use as a dressing. Mmmmm yummy, I love hummus. Hummus is really great in a wrap with lots of delicious veggies. This is a great meal to make when you have fresh produce that needs to get eaten up! I take this sort of wrap to work for lunch.

Here's what I used this time:
  • 1 whole grain tortilla, steamed for best wrapping flexibility
  • 1/3 cup hummus
  • 1/8 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/8 cucumber, chopped into 1/4 inch dice
  • 1/4 roma tomato, diced
  • generous pinch of sprouts
  • sprinkle of shredded iceberg lettuce
  • 1/8 cup organic chopped red, yellow, and orange bell pepper (notoriously full of chemicals unless organic. shop accordingly)
You can omit any items if you wish, or add others. Some other great options are:
  • avocado
  • pickles
  • zucchini
  • sauteed summer squash
  • sesame seeds
  • sunflower seeds
  • broccoli
  • chopped celery (notoriously full of chemicals unless organic. shop accordingly)
  • thinly sliced red onion
  • scallions
  • blanched kale (notoriously full of chemicals unless organic. shop accordingly)
  • mushrooms
  • sun-dried tomatoes.

Add all ingredients in order to tortilla. I put so many things in my wrap, it wouldn't roll, so be careful of that. You might opt to mix all veggies beforehand and just add the right amount to the tortilla. If you do this, and have leftover veggies, toss them in a little olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper and use later.
