Ingredients
  

4 large whole grain or spinach tortillas

1 cup of hummus (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 avocado, neatly sliced

1 cup baby spinach leaves

1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts (optional, for added crunch)

1 tsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, for a vibrant garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Workspace: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Clear a clean surface, such as a cutting board or tray, where you can assemble your wraps.

    Prep the Tortillas: Place a tortilla on the board and, if preferred, lightly warm it in a skillet for about 10-15 seconds on each side. This will make the tortilla more pliable and easier to roll.

      Spread the Hummus: Scoop out 1/4 cup of hummus and spread it evenly across the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch of space around the edges. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to ensure a smooth and even layer.

        Layer the Vegetables: Begin assembling your wrap by placing a handful of baby spinach leaves at the bottom of the tortilla. Follow with a layer of thinly sliced cucumbers, a generous portion of shredded carrots, the red bell pepper slices, and avocado. Add alfalfa sprouts last, if using.

          Season for Flavor: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable layers. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and if desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the freshness of the wrap.

            Wrap It Up: Firmly roll the tortilla starting from the bottom (the edge closest to you) toward the top, being careful to tuck in the fillings as you go. Fold in the sides of the tortilla as you roll to secure the contents and create a neat wrap.

              Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the completed wrap in half or into bite-sized pieces for easier handling. Arrange the pieces beautifully on a plate and garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color.

                Optional Dipping Sauce: Consider serving your wraps with a side of additional hummus or a refreshing yogurt-based dip for a delightful accompaniment.
