# What You Need:
→ Wraps & Spreads
01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas or flatbreads
02 - 1 1/2 cups classic hummus (store-bought or homemade)
→ Fresh Vegetables
03 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
04 - 1 cup shredded carrots
05 - 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

10 - 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional, omit for vegan)
11 - 2 tbsp pitted Kalamata olives, chopped (optional)
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
13 - Lemon wedges, for serving
# How to Make It:
01 - Lay each tortilla or flatbread flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 - Arrange spinach or mixed greens, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, tomato slices, bell pepper strips, and red onion evenly over the hummus on each wrap.
04 - Sprinkle each wrap with chopped fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped Kalamata olives if desired.
05 - Season each wrap with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
06 - Gently roll up each wrap, tucking in the sides to enclose the fillings securely. Slice in half diagonally if desired.
07 - Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the wraps.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Zero cooking means you can throw this together even on the hottest summer day without breaking a sweat.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against the smooth hummus creates a texture contrast that keeps every bite interesting.
02 -
- Overfilling is the fastest way to a wrap that falls apart on the first bite, so resist the urge to pile every vegetable on at once.
- Wet ingredients like tomato slices should go in the middle of the stack, never directly against the tortilla, to keep the wrap from getting soggy.
03 -
- If you are making these ahead, wrap each one tightly in parchment paper and then foil, and refrigerate for up to four hours without losing crunch.
- A thin spread of hummus on both the top and bottom of the filling acts like edible glue that holds everything in place while you eat.
