Ingredients
- 4 whole wheat wraps
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 cucumber
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 cup carrots
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- Step 1: Lay each whole wheat wrap flat on a clean surface. Use the back of a spoon to spread 1 cup hummus evenly across the entire surface of the wrap, ensuring a thin, uniform layer that covers all corners. Tip: Avoid overloading the wrap with hummus to prevent it from becoming soggy when rolled.
- Step 2: Wash and dry 1 cucumber, 2 bell peppers, and 1 cup carrots. Dice the cucumber and bell peppers into 1/2-inch cubes, and julienne the carrots into 1/4-inch-thick strips. Arrange the vegetables in three even layers across the hummus-coated wrap, starting with the cucumber, followed by the bell peppers, and finishing with the carrots. Tip: Use a sharp knife for uniform slices to ensure even texture and distribution.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp tahini and 1 tbsp lemon juice until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened, with no lumps. Drizzle the tahini-lemon dressing in a zigzag pattern over the vegetable layer, ensuring the entire surface is lightly coated but not drenched. Tip: For even coverage, use a spoon to drizzle in a systematic pattern rather than pouring all at once.
- Step 4: Starting at one of the narrow ends of each wrap, roll it tightly toward the center, tucking the edges inward as you go to enclose the fillings. Continue rolling until the wrap is fully enclosed, then use a small piece of parchment paper or a toothpick to secure the seam if needed. Tip: Roll slowly and firmly to maintain the wrap’s shape and prevent the fillings from shifting during serving.
