Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas (10-inch, soft and flexible; use gluten-free if preferred)
  • 1 cup classic hummus (about 1/4 cup per wrap; store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup carrots, julienned or grated
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced into thin sticks
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup purple cabbage, finely shredded
  • 1/4 cup red onion, very thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 avocado, sliced (optional, 1/4 per wrap)
  • 4 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional, 1 tbsp per wrap)
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges for a squeeze of juice (optional)
  • 8 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional, 2 tbsp per wrap; or dairy-free cheese)

Instructions

  1. Wash all veggies thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
  2. Slice the bell peppers, cucumber, and carrots into thin strips (about 1/4 inch thick). Shred the cabbage finely. If using onion, slice paper-thin.
  3. Heat each tortilla in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10-15 seconds per side to make them more flexible.
  4. Lay a tortilla flat on your cutting board. Spread about 1/4 cup hummus evenly over the surface, stopping 1/2 inch from the edges. If using avocado, layer slices on top of the hummus.
  5. Arrange the veggies in horizontal stripes by color: start with red bell pepper near the bottom, followed by carrot, yellow pepper, cucumber, spinach, and finally purple cabbage. Sprinkle herbs, lemon juice, and feta cheese if using.
  6. Starting from the end with the red bell pepper, gently roll the tortilla, tucking the veggies in as you go. Roll tightly but slowly.
  7. With a sharp knife, cut the wrap in half at a slight angle to show off the rainbow layers. Place cut-side up on a plate for serving.
  8. If the wrap won’t hold together, try layering less filling or adding a bit more hummus for stickiness. If your tortilla cracks, warm it more. If veggies spill out, press gently with your hands to compact the wrap before slicing.

Notes

For best results, cut veggies into uniform strips and don’t overfill the wraps. Warm tortillas before assembling to prevent cracking. Dry veggies well to avoid soggy wraps. These wraps are highly customizable—swap in your favorite veggies, spreads, or add protein like grilled chicken or tofu. For gluten-free, use GF tortillas or collard greens. Prep veggies ahead for quick assembly.
