Baby spinach leaves | 1 cup | Fresh and washed |
Shredded carrots | 1/2 cup | Fresh |
Avocado | 1 medium | Sliced or mashed |
Cherry tomatoes | 1/2 cup | Halved |
Red onion | 1/4 small | Thinly sliced |
Lemon juice | 1 tablespoon | Freshly squeezed |

Fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, or basil) | 1/4 cup | Chopped, optional for extra flavor |
Equipment
- Cutting board – For chopping vegetables and herbs
- Sharp knife – To slice and dice ingredients
- Bowl – To mix chickpeas and seasonings
- Fork or potato masher – For mashing avocado or chickpeas
- Spatula or spoon – For spreading hummus
- Plate or clean surface – To assemble wraps
- Optional: grill pan or skillet – To warm wraps if desired
Instructions
- Prepare the chickpeas: In a medium bowl, lightly mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork, leaving some whole for texture. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and the lemon juice. Mix well and set aside.
- Slice the vegetables: Thinly slice the red onion and halve the cherry tomatoes. Shred the carrots if not pre-shredded. Chop fresh herbs if using.
- Prepare the avocado: Slice or mash the avocado, seasoning with a tiny pinch of salt and a splash of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Warm the tortillas (optional): Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Warm each tortilla for about 20 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add the fillings: Layer on a handful of spinach leaves, a scoop of the mashed chickpeas, shredded carrots, avocado slices or mash, cherry tomatoes, and red onions. Sprinkle chopped herbs on top.
- Season and drizzle: Add a light drizzle of olive oil if desired and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roll it up: Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling, then fold in the sides and continue rolling tightly until the wrap is closed.
- Serve immediately or wrap: Enjoy your wrap fresh, or wrap it in parchment paper or foil for an on-the-go meal.
Tips & Variations
“Don’t be afraid to experiment with your favorite veggies and spreads!”
- Swap the hummus: Try vegan pesto, tahini, or a creamy cashew spread for different flavor profiles.
- Protein boost: Add cooked lentils, tofu strips, or tempeh for extra protein.
- Spicy kick: Add sliced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to spice things up.
- Crunch factor: Include sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, or toasted nuts for added texture.
- Wrap alternatives: Use collard greens, lettuce leaves, or homemade vegan flour tortillas for gluten-free or low-carb options.
- Meal prep tip: Keep wet ingredients like avocado separate until ready to eat to prevent soggy wraps.
