- Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus: 1 ½ cups canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed), ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 2 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed for blending)
- Wraps & Fillings: 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas, 1 cup baby spinach leaves, 1 cup shredded carrots, 1 cup cucumber (julienned), 1 small red bell pepper (thinly sliced), ½ small red onion (thinly sliced), ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped), salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the hummus
- In a food processor, combine chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to reach a creamy consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if desired.
- Assemble the wraps
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the hummus over the center of the tortilla, leaving about 1 inch around the edges.
- Add the vegetables
- Layer with spinach, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper if desired.
- Roll the wraps
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
- Finish and serve
- Repeat with remaining tortillas and fillings. Slice wraps in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for later.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
For the most vibrant flavors, make sure to drain the sun-dried tomatoes well before adding them to the food processor. If your hummus seems too thick during blending, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency. When rolling the wraps, be sure to tuck in the sides firmly before rolling to prevent the filling from escaping. A tight roll also helps keep everything fresh if you're storing them for later.
Varianten und Anpassungen
These wraps are incredibly versatile and can be adapted to suit your preferences or what you have on hand. For a gluten-free option, substitute gluten-free tortillas. Add sliced avocado or alfalfa sprouts for extra texture and nutrition. For a spicier version, mix a pinch of cayenne pepper into the hummus or add sliced jalapeños to the filling. You could also swap the parsley for fresh basil or cilantro depending on your flavor preferences.
Serviervorschläge
These wraps stand beautifully on their own as a complete meal, but they also pair wonderfully with a variety of sides. Serve with a simple green salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice for a light lunch. For a more substantial meal, add a side of roasted sweet potato wedges or a cup of Mediterranean-style soup. For beverage pairings, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc complements the flavors nicely, or try sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon for a refreshing non-alcoholic option.
