These vegan hummus and veggie roll-ups are a delightful combination of fresh vegetables, creamy hummus, and soft tortillas, perfect for a quick snack or a light meal. Packed with nutrients and bursting with flavors, they’re not only delicious but also easy to prepare and customizable to suit your taste preferences.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas
  • 1 cup hummus (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1 large carrot, julienned or grated
  • 1 cucumber, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or orange), thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas on a clean surface. If using large tortillas, you may want to trim them to a square shape for easier rolling.
  2. Spread the Hummus: Spread a generous layer of hummus evenly over each tortilla, covering it from edge to edge.
  3. Layer the Vegetables: Arrange the julienned or sliced vegetables in a single layer over the hummus. Start with a base of baby spinach leaves, followed by carrots, cucumbers, and bell peppers. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper to season lightly.
  4. Add Fresh Herbs: Place fresh basil leaves on top of the vegetables for an extra burst of flavor and freshness.
  5. Roll Up the Tortillas: Carefully roll up each tortilla tightly from one end to the other, ensuring the fillings are secure. If needed, you can use toothpicks to hold the roll-ups together.
  6. Slice and Serve: Once rolled, slice each tortilla roll-up into 1-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife. Arrange them on a serving platter or pack them for a convenient on-the-go snack.
