This dish is perfect for a nutritious, quick, and satisfying meal or snack.
Ingredients:
- Tortilla wraps (whole wheat or gluten-free)
- 1 cup of hummus (or any vegan spread)
- 1 cup of mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded carrots)
- 1/2 avocado (sliced)
- 1 cup of leafy greens (spinach, lettuce, or kale)
- 1/4 cup red cabbage (shredded)
- 1/2 cup chickpeas (cooked or canned)
- Olive oil (optional for roasting veggies)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Spices (optional: cumin, paprika, chili powder)
- Lemon juice (for flavor)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables
- Wash and chop the mixed vegetables. You can use fresh vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and carrots for a crisp bite.
- If desired, roast the chickpeas and some vegetables. Toss chickpeas with olive oil, paprika, cumin, and salt, then roast them in a preheated oven at 400 F (200 C) for 15-20 minutes for a crunchy texture. Roasting bell peppers or zucchini adds a smoky flavor to the wrap.
Step 2: Prepare the Spread
- Use hummus as a spread for the base of your wrap. You can make hummus at home by blending chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and tahini, or you can use store-bought hummus.
- Alternatively, you can use guacamole, vegan mayo, or tahini sauce for added variety.
Step 3: Layer the Ingredients
- Place the tortilla wrap on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous layer of hummus or your chosen spread evenly on the tortilla to act as a flavorful base.
Step 4: Add the Vegetables and Avocado
- Layer the fresh veggies (bell peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded carrots, red cabbage) evenly across the tortilla.
- Add avocado slices for creaminess and healthy fats. Sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Step 5: Add Leafy Greens and Chickpeas
- Top the wrap with leafy greens like spinach or kale for extra nutrition and crunch.
- If you roasted chickpeas or vegetables, add those on top for added flavor and texture.
Step 6: Wrap and Serve
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it tightly from one end to the other to secure the ingredients inside.
- Slice the wrap in half and serve it immediately, or pack it up for later.
Optional: Add flavor
- Squeeze lemon juice for freshness, or drizzle some tahini sauce on top before wrapping.
- Customize the filling with other vegan options like tofu, tempeh, or black beans for more protein.
This vegan wrap is versatile, nutrient-dense, and perfect for a quick meal.
