Veggie & Hummus Wrap

This veggie and hummus wrap is a lunchbox winner — colourful, nutritious, and easy to eat. Creamy hummus acts as the glue that holds everything together while adding protein and flavour. Packed with crunchy vegetables, it’s a great way to sneak extra veggies into your child’s lunch. Best of all, it takes just 10 minutes to make.

Ingredients

• 1 large flour tortilla (or whole wheat wrap)
• 3 tablespoons hummus (plain or flavoured)
• ¼ cup shredded carrots
• ¼ cup cucumber, cut into thin strips
• ¼ cup bell pepper, thinly sliced
• ¼ cup shredded lettuce or spinach
• Optional: sliced avocado or cheese

Instructions

1. Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread hummus evenly across the entire tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
2. Layer the shredded carrots, cucumber strips, bell pepper slices, and lettuce in a line down the centre of the tortilla. Don’t overfill — a handful of each is plenty.
3. Fold in the sides of the tortilla about 1 inch, then roll tightly from the bottom edge, keeping the filling tucked in as you go.
4. Wrap the rolled tortilla in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it hold its shape (or make the night before).
5. When ready to pack, slice the wrap in half diagonally. Pack in a lunchbox with a small container of extra hummus for dipping.
