- 4 large flour tortillas or whole wheat wraps
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumbers
- 1 cup thinly sliced bell peppers mixed colors
- 1 cup chopped romaine or spinach
- ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 ripe avocado sliced
- ½ cup hummus or garlic yogurt sauce
- ¼ cup crispy baked chickpeas optional for crunch
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: shredded cheese fresh herbs (parsley, dill, or cilantro)
Prepare the veggies: Wash and cut all vegetables into thin slices or shreds. Place them in separate small bowls for easy assembling.
Season lightly: Drizzle lemon juice and olive oil over the cabbage and carrots. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the natural flavors.
Warm the wraps (optional but recommended): Heat a tortilla in a pan for 10–15 seconds per side. Warm wraps roll much more easily and stay soft.
Spread the base layer: Add a generous layer of hummus or garlic yogurt sauce in the center of each tortilla.
Assemble the filling: Add romaine/spinach, shredded carrots, red cabbage, cucumbers, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, and crispy chickpeas.
Roll it tightly: Fold the sides inward, then roll from the bottom upward to secure the filling.
Press gently to keep everything compact.
Crisp the wrap (optional but delicious): Place the wrap seam-side-down in a lightly greased pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
Slice and serve: Cut diagonally and enjoy warm, cool, or at room temperature.
Tips & Variations
Add protein: Grilled chicken strips, baked falafel, spiced tofu cubes, or sautéed shrimp.
Add grains: Quinoa, couscous, or brown rice bring heartiness and extra nutrition.
Make it spicy: Add jalapeños, chili flakes, or sriracha drizzle.
Make it extra creamy: Add a thin layer of mashed avocado or a creamy tahini sauce.
Turn it into a meal-prep box: Pair it with fruit, nuts, or chips for an easy lunch kit.
Storage
Refrigerator: Store the prepared wraps wrapped tightly in foil or parchment for up to 2 days.
Avoid sogginess: If meal-prepping, add sauces only right before eating.
Freezing: Not recommended due to fresh veggies losing their crisp texture.
