When assembling your Rainbow Veggie Wraps, the way you arrange the vegetables can significantly enhance the flavor experience. Start by laying down a base of leafy greens, such as spinach or romaine, which provide a fresh crunch and a nutrient-rich foundation. Layer your vegetables in a strategic order, placing the more robust items, like bell peppers and cucumbers, next to the greens. This arrangement not only keeps the wrap from becoming soggy but also allows the flavors to blend seamlessly.

Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup of your favorite flavor of hummus

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup sliced bell peppers (a mix of red, yellow, and green)

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

½ cup ripe avocado, sliced

¼ cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Salt and pepper to taste

½ teaspoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by thoroughly washing all the vegetables. Cut the carrots into thin strips, slice the bell peppers, and thinly slice the cucumber and avocado. Make sure all pieces are bite-sized to facilitate easy wrapping.

    Spread the Hummus: Place a tortilla on a clean, flat surface such as a cutting board or plate. Generously spread hummus across the tortilla, covering most of the surface while leaving about an inch of space around the edges.

      Layer the Veggies: Starting at one edge of the tortilla, layer a portion of shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, baby spinach leaves, cucumber, and avocado. Create a colorful and vibrant row of veggies along the hummus-filled edge.

        Add Feta and Season: If using feta cheese, sprinkle an even layer over the vegetable mixture. Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.

          Wrap it Up: Gently start rolling the tortilla away from you, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Continue to roll tightly until the entire tortilla is wrapped around the filling.

            Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the wrap in half diagonally. For serving to kids or for smaller portions, slice them into smaller bite-sized pieces. You can use toothpicks to hold the wraps together if needed.

              Pack it Up: Place the wraps in a bento box or lunch bag with ice packs to keep them fresh. These wraps can be prepared ahead of time and will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, making them a perfect grab-and-go meal.
