Ingredients Needed
- Whole grain wraps or tortillas
- Cooked brown rice or quinoa
- Fresh vegetables (cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, leafy greens)
- Hummus or tahini spread
- Optional herbs (cilantro, parsley)
- Olive oil and lemon juice for dressing
Step-by-Step Preparation
Start by preparing your vegetables. Wash and thinly slice cucumbers, carrots, and bell peppers. Chop leafy greens and herbs if using. Cook your grains in advance and let them cool.
Lay a whole grain wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a layer of hummus or tahini in the center, leaving about an inch border around the edges.
Add a generous portion of cooked grains over the spread. Then layer the sliced vegetables evenly on top of the grains.
Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the fillings for added flavor. Sprinkle herbs if desired.
Carefully roll the wrap tightly from one end to the other, folding in the sides as you go to contain the fillings.
Serving Suggestions
Cut the wrap in half diagonally for an attractive presentation. Serve immediately or wrap it in foil for a portable lunch. Pair with a light herbal tea or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
