Ingredients
- 4 pieces large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup chickpeas (canned, drained and rinsed)
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 small, minced garlic clove
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium, julienned carrot
- 1 small, thinly sliced cucumber
- 1 small, thinly sliced red bell pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2-3 tbsp water
Instructions
- Step 1: In a food processor, combine 1 cup drained chickpeas, 3 tbsp tahini, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 small minced garlic clove, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more water 1 tbsp at a time if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
- Step 2: Lay out 4 large whole wheat tortillas on a clean surface. Evenly spread about 3 tbsp of the hummus onto each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
- Step 3: Arrange julienned strips of 1 medium carrot, thin slices of 1 small cucumber, 1 small red bell pepper, and 1 cup baby spinach leaves in rows over the hummus on each tortilla.
- Step 4: Starting from one edge, tightly roll each tortilla into a wrap, tucking in the sides as you go to keep the filling secure. Slice each wrap diagonally into 2 halves and serve immediately or wrap in foil for a packed lunch.
