Ingredients
  

4 large whole grain or spinach tortillas

1 cup hummus (your choice of flavor)

1 cup shredded purple cabbage

1 cup grated carrots

1 bell pepper (choose red, yellow, or orange), thinly sliced

1 cucumber, peeled and julienned

1 ripe avocado, sliced just before assembly

1 cup mixed greens (options: spinach, arugula, or baby kale)

¼ cup fresh cilantro or parsley, finely chopped

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions
 

Prep the Vegetables: Begin by rinsing and thoroughly drying all fresh vegetables. Next, thinly slice your chosen bell pepper and peel and julienne the cucumber. Grate the carrots. To prevent browning, slice the avocado just before you're ready to assemble the wraps.

    Make the Base: Place a tortilla flat on a clean cutting board. Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent spillage.

      Layer the Crunch: Starting at one end, layer the vegetables over the hummus. Begin with the shredded purple cabbage, followed by grated carrots, sliced bell pepper, julienned cucumber, and finish with a handful of mixed greens.

        Add the Avocado: Lay the slices of avocado on top of the mixed greens. Sprinkle with fresh chopped cilantro or parsley and squeeze lime juice over the top to brighten the flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like, add crumbled feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor.

          Wrap it Up: Starting from the edge closest to you, carefully roll the tortilla over the fillings. Tuck the sides of the tortilla inwards as you roll to keep everything securely housed within the wrap. Continue rolling until the wrap is fully enclosed.

            Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the wrap in half diagonally for easy handling. You can serve it immediately for a fresh bite or wrap it in parchment paper for a convenient lunch option on the go. Enjoy your colorful and nutritious Rainbow Crunch Veggie Wrap!
