🥑 Avocado and Hummus Wrap (1 Serving)
Ingredients
- 1 flour tortilla (8-inch or burrito size)
- 3 tablespoons hummus (classic, garlic, or any flavor you like)
- 1/4 of a ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 2 to 4 slices of tomato
- 4 slices of cucumber (optional, but adds crunch and freshness)
Instructions
Warm the tortilla (optional):
For a more pliable wrap, heat the tortilla on a skillet for about 10–15 seconds on each side or microwave it for 10 seconds.
Spread the hummus:
Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the hummus evenly over the center, leaving about 1 inch of space from the edges.
Layer the avocado:
Arrange the thin avocado slices on top of the hummus. Try to distribute them evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
Add the veggies:
Place the alfalfa sprouts on top of the avocado. Add tomato slices and cucumber slices (if using) to finish the filling.
Wrap it up:
Fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly from the bottom like a burrito. Slice in half diagonally for presentation, or enjoy whole.
✅ Tips for Perfecting This Recipe
Use ripe avocado:
A creamy, ripe avocado enhances the texture and flavor. Press gently near the stem—if it yields slightly, it’s ready.
Don’t overfill:
Too much filling makes the wrap harder to roll and more likely to fall apart. Balance is key.
Add a pinch of salt or lemon juice:
A light sprinkle of salt or a squeeze of lemon over the avocado can elevate the flavor and prevent browning.
Use fresh veggies:
Crisp, fresh cucumbers and juicy tomatoes bring balance to the creamy hummus and avocado.
Choose your tortilla wisely:
Whole wheat, spinach, or gluten-free tortillas make great alternatives and add nutritional value or suit dietary needs.
🔄 Variations & Substitutions
Greens instead of sprouts:
Try using baby spinach, arugula, or shredded lettuce in place of alfalfa sprouts.
Different hummus flavors:
Roasted red pepper, lemon, or spicy chili hummus can add a new flavor twist.
Add protein:
Crumbled feta, sliced hard-boiled eggs, or grilled tofu can make the wrap more filling.
Wrap alternatives:
Swap the tortilla for a collard green leaf or a large lettuce wrap for a low-carb option.
Extra veggies:
Add shredded carrots, bell pepper strips, or red onion for more crunch and color.
This Avocado and Hummus Wrap is perfect for a light lunch, a healthy snack, or a meatless meal. It’s nutritious, satisfying, and easy to personalize based on your taste or the ingredients on hand. Give it a try and make it your own!
