Ingredients
  

4 large whole-grain tortillas

1 cup hummus (any flavor you prefer)

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup red bell peppers, thinly sliced

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1 cup purple cabbage, shredded

1 avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Veggies: Start by washing all fresh vegetables. Thinly slice the bell peppers and cucumber, and shred the carrots and purple cabbage. Set aside.

    Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. This zesty dressing will add a burst of flavor to your wrap.

      Spread the Hummus: Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Spread a generous layer of hummus over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving about half an inch at the edges.

        Layer the Veggies: Begin layering your veggies starting with a handful of shredded carrots, followed by red bell peppers, cucumber slices, shredded cabbage, and slices of avocado. Make sure to distribute the veggies evenly across the wrap for a colorful presentation.

          Drizzle the Dressing: Drizzle a little bit of the lemon-olive oil dressing over the layered veggies to enhance the flavor.

            Roll It Up: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly but gently until all the filling is enclosed. Make sure to tuck in the sides as you roll to keep everything secure.

              Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the wrap in half diagonally. If desired, secure the wraps with toothpicks or wrap them in parchment paper for easy transport. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if using.

                Repeat: Continue the process with the remaining tortillas and fillings until all ingredients are utilized.
