Summer lunches should be fresh, light, and quick to make. I mean, no one wants to spend a lot of time in the kitchen when it’s sunny and nice outside! So simple vegan wraps are my go-to lunch that I make all summer long.
How to Make Hummus Veggie Wrap
These hummus wraps are so versatile! Change up the dip (I love flavored hummus!), the veggies, herbs, seasonings, or the tortillas, and you’ll end up making a super fun and different wrap every time.
The Ingredients
To make these easy vegan wraps, you’ll need:
Tortillas – Use plain tortillas, whole wheat tortillas, gluten-free tortillas, large pitas, naan bread, or lavash bread.Hummus – You can either use store-bought or homemade plain hummus. Or for more flavor use something like beet hummus, roasted red pepper hummus, avocado hummus, or even pumpkin hummus. If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, try my eggplant dip instead of hummus (it’s what you’d call baba ganoush) but the proper name is Mutabbal. Vegetables – Slice any vegetables that you like, and add them to your wraps.Leafy greens – I usually go for mixed salad leaves, but you can also use romaine lettuce, iceberg lettuce, kale, cabbage, red cabbage, spinach, or swiss chard. You can also add herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, green onion, chives, or mint leaves.Sauce – I LOVE drizzling my hummus wraps with sriracha hot sauce, but if you’re not a fan, you can use lemon garlic tahini or a yogurt sauce.
The Directions
Storing, Packing Lunch, and Making Ahead Tips.
If you plan on making these vegan wraps ahead of time, keep in mind that juicy vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers will produce some liquid that will soften the tortillas and might become a bit soggy. So if you’re making these wraps to enjoy later, I would skip the tomatoes and cucumbers and stick to crisp veggies. If you’re packing the hummus wraps to go, wrap them individually in foil tightly. I recommend that you take a small ice pack with you and place it in the bag next to the wraps to keep them nice and fresh. If storing in the fridge, place in a sealed container, or wrap individually in foil and store for up to 3 days.
