What You’ll Need:
This Veggie Wrap keeps the ingredient list totally approachable—because good food shouldn’t be complicated. Here’s what you’ll grab to make this come together:
- 4 large flour tortillas (burrito size) or whole wheat wraps – You can find these at any regular grocery store. Out of flour tortillas? Whole wheat or spinach wraps are a great easy swap that add a little twist.
- 1 cup hummus – Classic, garlic, or roasted red pepper all work wonders in this veggie tortilla wrap.
- 1 cup shredded carrots – Fresh shredded carrots bring sweetness and crunch.
- 1 cup chopped cucumbers – Peeled or not, cucumber slices add that cool crisp bite.
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens – Swap in kale or arugula if you’re feeling peppery vibes in your veggie wrap.
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers (any color) – Budget-friendly and bright, bell peppers keep this fresh vegetable wrap colorful.
- 1/2 cup sliced avocado – Optional but oh-so-good. If you’re out, you can skip or swap with extra hummus.
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese – Totally optional, but it gives a little tang. For a vegan twist, use vegan cheese or just load up more veggies.
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice – Adds a zing that wakes up the whole veggie wrap.
- Salt and pepper to taste
Budget-wise, this healthy veggie wrap stays kind to your wallet because most ingredients are regular grocery store staples and can be swapped based on what you have lying around. I always add a little extra lemon juice or a sprinkle of chili flakes to amp up the flavor without adding cost or fuss.
For quick prep, start by chopping and prepping all the veggies while your wraps are warming up on a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds. Leftovers? No worries—keep chopped veggies and hummus in airtight containers. The components hold well for a day or two, so you can whip up another veggie tortilla wrap any time you’re hungry.
Let’s Cook This Together:
Alright friends, here’s how to nail this Veggie Wrap with me step-by-step. It’s a simple routine you’ll love:
- Warm your tortillas gently in a dry skillet or microwave for about 20 seconds. This helps them roll without cracking.
- Spread a generous 1/4 cup of hummus evenly across each tortilla. This healthy veggie wrap layer is the flavor base—don’t be shy!
- Add your greens next. A handful of baby spinach or mixed greens anchors the wrap with fresh crunch and earthiness.
- Layer shredded carrots and cucumbers evenly on top. Their crisp texture makes this fresh vegetable wrap so satisfying.
- Scatter the bell pepper slices for color and a little sweet crunch.
- If using, add sliced avocado and feta cheese now for creaminess and tang.
- Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. This brings all the flavors together like magic.
- Roll it up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to trap all those fresh flavors inside.
- Slice your Veggie Wrap in half, so it’s neat and easy to eat.
Start to finish, this Veggie Wrap comes together in about 10 minutes tops. While the hummus and veggies are chilling in the fridge, I prep the tortilla and fresh veggies, multitasking like a pro. Your kitchen is about to smell like fresh veggies and lemon—so good! Heads-up, if your veggie wrap feels a little tight or tricky rolling at first, it’s totally fine. Just relax your wrap and try again—it gets easier every time.
Shortcut lovers, hummus from a tub is a fantastic shortcut that keeps this recipe super accessible. And if you want, swap homemade wraps with store-bought veggie tortilla wraps for a speedy assemble.
I’ve learned over making this multiple times that balancing the wet and crunchy ingredients matters. Too much avocado can make things slippery, so I like to keep it moderate. It’s these little kitchen nuggets that turn an easy vegetable wrap recipe into a make-again favorite.
How to Serve & Savor It:
This Veggie Wrap truly shines when you serve it with a handful of crunchy chips or a light soup on the side—think lentil or tomato bisque for a cozy match. I love it with a quick batch of my homemade cranberry jalapeno dip for a pop of spicy-sweet on the side.
My absolute favorite way to enjoy this Veggie Wrap is on a lazy weekend or when we’re having people over. They look inviting and colorful sliced on a board, perfect for sharing. Add some pickles or olives, and you’ve got yourself a fresh, healthy spread that beats boring any day.
This veggie wrap is perfect for lunches, easy dinners, or even a picnic in the park. The portability and freshness make it a top go-to.
Leftovers? I like turning the rolled-up hummus wraps into bite-sized pinwheels for snacking at work or school lunches. Adding a seasonal twist, I sometimes swap in roasted butternut squash cubes from one of my favorite fall recipes to bring in warmth and heartiness.
Friends say this Veggie Wrap is a huge hit because it feels like eating a fresh garden party—all wrapped up with zero fuss.
