→ Optional Add-ons

10 - 1 avocado, sliced

# How To Make:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly across the entire tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
02 - Arrange the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, julienned carrot, julienned cucumber, shredded purple cabbage, and baby spinach in horizontal rows across the center of the tortilla to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
03 - Sprinkle the wrap with chopped fresh herbs, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese if using.
04 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom edge upward to completely enclose the filling.
05 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Slice each completed wrap in half diagonally. Wrap each half tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil for convenient transport and storage.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can prep four lunches faster than you'd expect.
  • Every bite delivers different textures and flavors without any cooking required, making it perfect for rushed mornings.
  • The rainbow arrangement is so visually satisfying that even picky eaters get curious about what's inside.
02 -
  • Dry your cucumber thoroughly with paper towels before using it, or it will make your wrap soggy by lunchtime—a mistake I made exactly once.
  • Assemble these as close to eating time as possible, or do them the night before and let the cold fridge time actually help meld flavors together without making things limp.
03 -
  • Slice your bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers as thin as reasonably possible—it makes rolling easier and every bite more delicate and pleasant.
  • If you're making these more than a day ahead, keep the wet ingredients like avocado and cucumber separate and assemble the final wrap in the morning for maximum freshness and crunch.
