Description
A quick, no-cook lunch solution featuring colorful vegetables and hummus rolled in tortillas and sliced into pinwheels. Perfect for picky eaters and busy mornings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas (8-inch / 20cm)
- 1 cup (240g) classic hummus
- 1 cup (100g) shredded carrots
- 1 large red or yellow bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 2 cups (60g) fresh baby spinach leaves
- ½ cup (50g) grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese (optional)
- Optional add-ins: ½ cup sliced cucumber, 1 medium avocado, 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion, ½ cup black beans
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry all vegetables to prevent sogginess. Slice bell peppers into thin strips, grate carrots, and remove seeds from cucumber if using.
- Lay tortillas on a clean surface. If stiff, microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
- Spread ¼ cup of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border at the edges.
- Layer spinach leaves, shredded carrots, bell pepper strips, and cheese (if using) evenly over the hummus. Do not overstuff.
- Roll the tortillas tightly from the bottom edge, tucking in veggies as you go. Use cling wrap to help guide a tight roll.
- Let the rolls rest for 2-5 minutes to set.
- Using a serrated knife, slice each roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Pack in lunchboxes or serve on a platter with extra hummus for dipping.
Notes
Ensure vegetables are completely dry before assembling to prevent soggy wraps. Let the rolled wraps rest for a few minutes before slicing to help them hold their shape. For gluten-free needs, use corn tortillas warmed slightly in the microwave. For dairy-free, omit cheese or use vegan alternatives.
