Vegetable Hummus Wraps are the perfect way to get dinner on the table quickly on those summer days when you just don’t feel like cooking. They are loaded with healthy ingredients and fresh flavors and will have your taste buds begging for more.
This recipe for Veggie Hummus Wraps is great for hot summer nights when you just don’t want to heat up the house or get the grill out. We love having easy 30-minute recipes like these, along with Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps, BBQ Chicken Quesadillas, and my Copycat Panera Bread Fuji Apple Chicken Salad for busy nights.
This is such an easy recipe and is so quick and easy to make. You will have it made in no time, so you can even relax and enjoy your evening!
These vegetarian wraps are also perfect for a “Meatless Monday” recipe. We usually have a meatless meal every week – though not always on Monday.
Veggie wraps are a great easy lunch (and a quick lunch) to throw together when things are just crazy and you don’t feel like cooking. I love having easy, healthy recipes in my back pocket for when things are busy, and they are a great way to sneak in a lot of fresh veggies.
Table of Contents
Ingredients Needed
- Hummus – I like to use Sabra Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, but you can use your favorite hummus. Plain hummus is always a crowd-pleaser, so if you are making wraps for a large group, that might be safer.
- Sliced Cucumbers
- Shredded Carrots
- Sliced Cherry Tomatoes
- Leafy Greens – You can use salad greens, romaine lettuce, or spinach. I like to thinly slice the greens so that you don’t get a huge mouthful of salad when you bite into the wrap. Make sure to pat dry the greens to remove any excess moisture.
- Fresh Cilantro
- Whole wheat Tortillas – I like to use Mission Whole Wheat Flour Tortillas, but you can use spinach wraps, brown rice tortillas, almond flour tortillas, or just regular flour tortillas.
- Sliced Olives, optional
- Shredded Cheddar Cheese, optional
You can add other vegetables that your family likes – this is a great way to clear out the fridge when you happen to have a little of this and a little of that. We sometimes add sliced red onions, sliced red bell pepper, salad greens, creamy avocado slices, or even artichoke hearts if we have some left over from making pasta salad. You can customize these wraps using your favorite veggies.
You can also add cooked chicken breasts to these wraps – we often have some leftover grilled chicken or torn-up rotisserie chicken that we use to add a little extra protein to our wraps. Just be sure to cut the chicken into thin strips.
My husband loves Mediterranean flavors, so his favorite way to make veggie wraps involves a lot of homemade hummus, kalamata olives, feta cheese, green bell peppers, olive oil, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green bell peppers. He adds a sprinkle of oregano and a splash of red wine vinegar. He thinks he has mastered the healthy Mediterranean hummus wrap recipe, and I have to say… he’s not wrong!
How to Make Hummus Veggie Wraps
- Slice up the vegetables and dice up the cilantro.
- Spread a few tablespoons of hummus down the middle of each tortilla wrap. (Sometimes, we add a few heaping tablespoons of hummus – it depends on how hungry we are.)
- Place equal amounts of vegetables in the center of each wrap. Add the olives (for those who like olives) and shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle some fresh cilantro over the vegetables.
- Fold up the wrap, sides over first, then wrap over one end to roll up the wrap completely (see photo below). Some tortillas need to be warmed in the microwave to soften them up a bit so check the packaging of your tortillas before starting. The Mission Whole Wheat wraps are nice and soft without heating, so that is one of the reasons I like to use them.
Serve with a delicious side, like chips and salsa or pita chips with more hummus. (See more below.)
How to Store Hummus Wraps
If you want to prepare hummus wraps for lunch for the next day, simply wrap them in plastic wrap or beeswax wrap and store them in the refrigerator. I wouldn’t make them more than a day ahead of time, or the wrap will start to get really soft and will easily fall apart.
If you don’t eat the whole wrap, leftovers can be stored either in plastic wrap or in an airtight container but should be eaten within a day or so.
Tips for Making Veggie Wraps
- If Using Leafy Greens – Thinly slice the greens so that you don’t get a huge mouthful of salad when you bite into the wrap. Make sure to pat dry the greens after washing them to remove any excess moisture.
- Check Your Wraps – Check the packaging of your wraps before assembling them. Some wraps require heating before assembly so that they are more pliable and don’t tear when stretched.
- Don’t Go Crazy with Filling – You would think that the best wrap would be filled to the brim with creamy hummus and your favorite veggies, but if you stuff it too full, you won’t be able to roll it shut. Don’t go overboard with your wrap filling, and use less than you think you will need.
Tips to Keep Your Veggie Wraps From Falling Apart
- Microwave Your Tortilla for a few seconds to warm it up. This will make it softer and less likely to tear when you roll it up – and you can pull it tighter around the filling.
- Smush the ingredients into the hummus using a fork before you roll it up. The more squished down everything is, the less likely it will be to fall apart.
- Do not overfill the wrap.
- Wrap the Sandwich in parchment paper, wax paper, or aluminum foil, especially if you are bringing the wrap for lunch later in the day. You can also hold it together with a toothpick.
What to Serve with a Healthy Hummus Wrap
These healthy veggie wraps are pretty filling on their own, but a good side dish will always complete a great meal. We love to serve our wraps with:
- Chips (or Chips and salsa)
- Pasta Salad – We like Antipasto Pasta Salad or a more traditional Pasta Salad
- A Side Salad
- Veggies and some ranch for dipping
- Leftover Veggie Sides – Baked French Fries, Grilled Blue Cheese Potatoes, or Oven Roasted Potato Wedges.
