  7. Veggie Wrap with Hummus Recipe

I often get asked what I eat for lunch or how to incorporate veggies into lunch without turning to a salad. I get it! Lunch isn’t the time for a three-hour meal prep session. I like to have a meal replacement smoothie or a veggie wrap with hummus for lunch.

Veggie wrap ingredients for a healthy lunch, including a rainbow of vegetables, everything bagel seasoning, hummus, and some sun-dried tomato tortilla shells.

Ingredients You’ll Need

This hummus veggie wrap recipe packs in the vegetables and has a protein boost, thanks to the hummus. You can make a few at a time to enjoy throughout the week to save more time on lunch prep. If you’re real hungry, serve this tortilla vegetable wrap with a Layered Greek Dip or Garlic Baked Chickpeas to make it a well-rounded meal.

I love the versatility of a veggie wrap—I try to make it different eeach time to get a variety of flavors and vegetables. High-fiber vegetables paired with protein-rich hummus makes them filling and nutritious.

  • Tortilla shells (burrito-sized, any variety): Choose large, soft tortilla shells to wrap all the flavorful ingredients. Whole wheat or gluten-free options work well too.
  • Hummus: A creamy and protein-rich spread that adds a delicious, tangy base to your wrap. You can use any type of hummus— I lean towards roasted red pepper and garlic.
  • Spinach: Fresh spinach leaves provide a nutrient-packed, leafy green layer with a mild flavor.
  • Yellow bell pepper (cut into strips): Sweet and crunchy, these vibrant strips add a pop of color and a fresh, crisp bite.
  • Cucumber (cut into matchsticks): Cool and refreshing, cucumbers bring a light crunch to balance the wrap’s textures.
  • Carrots (grated): These bright, sweet shreds offer a satisfying crunch and a boost of vitamins.
  • Beets (grated): Earthy and slightly sweet, grated beets add vibrant color and antioxidants to the mix.
  • Red onion (cut into strips): Thin strips of red onion introduce a sharp, zesty flavor that complements the other ingredients. Swap with pickled red onions or jalapenos for additional flavor.
  • Lemon (cut into wedges): A squeeze of fresh lemon juice adds a burst of citrusy brightness to your wrap.
  • Olive oil: Drizzle a little olive oil for a smooth finish and enhanced flavor.
  • Everything bagel seasoning: Sprinkle this versatile seasoning for a savory, flavorful twist that ties everything together.
How to assemble a hummus wrap in 4 easy steps: first spreading hummus, then spinach, then veggies, then seasoning.


How to Make a Veggie Wrap

  1. Spread your hummus out on an empty shell for your wrap. The key to a good wrap is leaving about one inch of space at the edge that is hummus and veggie-free. That way you’ve got something to hold on to when you gather it all up.
  2. Place spinach evenly across the hummus and add the rest of your veggies on just half of the shell so you’ve got room to start your wrap.
  3. Season your veggies with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and everything bagel seasoning.
  4. Close up your veggie tortilla by taking the empty corner of the side with veggies and pull it over the top of the filling. Then tuck that edge under the veggies tightly to keep them secure.
  5. Use parchment or wax paper to store it so you can easily unwrap and eat a portion at a time after your wrap is finished. Every sandwich shop does this— and it really helps.

Ingredient Swaps

Sauce swaps: If hummus won’t work for you then try spreading coconut sriracha, hemp sauce, pesto or vegan avocado crema on your wrap.

Spinach swaps: Any leafy green works in this recipe. I like swapping spinach with kale, arugula or dark green romaine. Cabbage is another deliciously crunchy option.

Alternative veggies: Tomatoes, avocado slices, zucchini, radishes, sun-dried tomatoes, olives and more work well together. Just use what you have on hand and don’t worry about following my vegetable wrap recipe perfectly.

Spices: If you really want to up the flavor, add a Greek or Italian seasoning blend. Sea salt and pepper are a classic combo. A bit of garlic salt would also work well.

Gluten-free wrap Suggestions

If the flour tortilla shells I used are what’s holding you back from this hummus wrap, then use a different option! Try swiss chard leaves or a gluten-free wrap like Siete Grain-free wraps.

Common Questions

How do you make the best veggie wrap?

The key to a great veggie wrap is gently warming the tortilla first. I do this directly on my gas oven, yet you can also use a microwave or toaster oven. Next, spread hummus on the wrap (or tortilla) to make sure it is covered evenly, then I add the spinach to spread it out too. Next, I layer on the veggies until I’m satisfied. To wrap it well, I leave a one-inch edge around the wrap free from sauce and veggies so I can tuck it in nice and tight. Finally, I use parchment or wax paper around the finished product for easy handling and storage.

Is a veggie wrap good for you?

Homemade wraps filled with vegetables and hummus are a great healthy lunch option. The high fiber vegetables and protein-rich hummus also give you little bit of healthy fats to help break down the carbs. Feel free to use lettuce or the gluten-free wrap of your choice to make this lunch work for you.

How many carbs are in a veggie wrap?

This hummus veggie wrap has 39 carbs, 7 grams of protein and 12 grams of fat. It’s one of the most nutrient- dense wraps for lunch thanks to the vegetables and hummus packed inside. If you’re watching your carbs, swap the tortilla for a swiss chard leaf or low-carb alternative.


More Healthy Lunch Options

I don’t like taking the time to ‘make’ lunch, but I really try to eat healthy. Lunch needs to be filling, delicious and easy for me to eat it. Here are some more plant-based lunch recipes that can be prepped ahead of time and keep your health goals on track:

Prep: 10 minutes

Author: Jen Hansard
Course: Entree
Cuisine: dairy-free, Plant-Based
Serves: 4

Ingredients  

  • 4 tortilla shells burrito-sized, any variety
  • ½ cup hummus
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into strips

Instructions 

  • Lay all tortillas out on a clean surface. Spread 2 tbsps hummus onto each tortilla and top with 1/4 cup baby spinach, laying the leaves flat against the hummus. Leave a bit of a border around the shell for easy wrapping.
  • On one half of each tortilla, about one inch from the edge, layer the remaining veggies, dividing them up evenly between the wraps. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the veggies, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the bagel seasoning.
  • To roll the wraps, start with the side with the veggies and bring the empty border over the veggies, pulling them into a tight bundle tucking the edge underneath to secure them.

Notes

  • Feel free to use gluten-free shells, spinach wraps or lettuce to wrap your veggies.
  • You can make your hummus, or swap it for homemade pesto.
  • Use whatever veggies you have on hand to fill this wrap. I like to spice mine up with jalapeños, swap spinach with kale (or another leafy green!) or add some hot sauce.
  • This is great for a packed lunch as it should stay nice and fresh until lunchtime (and as leftovers for the next day!).
  • Everything bagel seasoning adds good spice to these wraps, yet Italian or Greek seasoning would be great as well.

    This veggie wrap is super yummy. I like how simple it is to make at lunch since I can cut up all the veggies beforehand and assemble in under 5 mins. The bagel seasoning adds great flavor. I also like to add avocados 🙂

    1. Great idea to cut up the veggies then assemble when you’re read to eat, Kelly!

    Didn’t like the texture of the raw veggies with the soft tortilla and overall, pretty bland

    1. Hi Dasha! The raw veggies are def not for everyone, completely understand. Sometimes, I’ll sautee them as well for my husband who isn’t as keen on raw veggies!

    This is my kind of lunch!

    I am not a big sandwich person, but this veggie hummus wrap is *chefs kiss*

    I love the ability to customize, my lunch today: dill pickle hummus, spinach, red and yellow pepper, avocado and a few shakes of salt and pepper. This may be my new go to lunch!

    1. Hi Carly! This is a personal favorite of mine as well. We have a whole section of salad recipes for lunch if that’s your speed, you should check it out!

  4. I really want to try this but I have a question. Are the beets cooked prior to assembling the wrap? I’ve never used fresh beets before.

    1. Hi Jenni! You could go either way on this one. They would be harder to grate being cooked but you could always thinly slice with a knife or grate then cook! It’s really personal preference.

    1. Hi Mary! This is correct. Was there a specific one you were concerned about so I can check it out for you?

      1. Thanks so much for pointing this out Mary!! I skipped right over that part, should not be 74g. Nothing in the recipe has Trans fat, so should be 0g depending on what brands you use for tortilla shells, etc.
