Avocado Hummus Veggie Wraps

A High Fiber, No Bake Summer Meal

This recipe was inspired by Recipe Redux’s July Challenge: a no bake healthy meal. I got to thinking about how much I love avocados and how much I don’t love hummus. But a twist on hummus with avocado…that sounded like a good idea to me. Plus, by combining the two, we’ll get the fiber of the avocado, while tempering its good fat with high fiber chic peas. Both are great protein sources, packed with vitamins and minerals, so we’ll have a super healthy meal component!

These wraps are full of veggies and super easy to make. Start with the Avocado Hummus:

Ingredients

Hummus Ingredients

• 1 medium avocado
• 1 15 oz. can no sodium added chic peas I like Eden
• 1/2 of a small shallot
• 1 large clove garlic
• 2 1/2 TBS lemon juice
• 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup parsley packed and unchopped
• 1/2 - 1 tsp sriracha
• 1/2 tsp sea salt

Veggie Wrap Ingredients

• 3/4 - 1 cup Avocado Hummus
• 4 whole grain wraps l like Trader Joe's gluten-free brown rice wraps or Siete grain-free Cassava Wraps
• 4 collard green OR kale leaves washed and dried
• 1 medium tomato cut into strips, lengthwise
• 1/2 of a yellow pepper cut into strips, lengthwise
• 1/2 of a small cucumber cut into strips, lengthwise
• extra veggie strips for dipping!

Instructions

Make Avocado Hummus

• Rinse and drain chic peas. Put into food processor.
• Slice avocado in half. Spoon insides of avocado into food processor.
• Add rest of ingredients into food processor. Blend together until smooth.
• You will need to stop 1-2 times and scrape down the sides and blend again to incorporate all ingredients and hummus is smooth. Set aside.

Prep and Assemble Wrap

• Cut veggies in equal sized strips. (For the tomatoes, I prefer to remove the seeds and pulp for a neater and easier to eat wrap.)
• Lay your tortilla out flat.
• Spread 3-4 TBS of Avocado Hummus on your tortilla depending on the size. Don't go all the way to the edges so that when you roll it it doesn't all squeeze out.
• Lay your collard green leaf on top the Avocado Hummus. Trim your leaf if it doesn't quite fit.
• Lay your veggie strips in neat horizontal rows. Use 2 of each veggie, lined up vertically. I used tomato, yellow pepper, then cucumber.
• Roll your wrap halfway. Lay down another row of veggies, 2 more of each in a vertical row.
• Roll your wrap up all the way. Cut into small bite size pieces. Eat right away or pack up and enjoy on the go!

How to Assemble Your Avocado Hummus Veggie Wraps

1. Cut your veggies in equal sized strips. For the tomatoes, I prefer to remove the wet insides (the seeds and pulp) for a neater and easier to eat wrap. In the pic below, the red slices are tomato, not pepper!

2. Lay your tortilla out flat. (look for a tortilla like Ezekiel Sprouted brand) 2. Spread 3-4 TBS of Avocado Hummus on your tortilla depending on the size. Don’t go all the way to the edges so that when you roll it it doesn’t all squeeze out. 3. Lay your collard green leaf on top the Avocado Hummus. Trim your leaf if it doesn’t quite fit. 4. Lay your veggie strips in neat horizontal rows. Use 2 of each veggie, lined up vertically. I used tomato, yellow pepper, then cucumber.

5. Roll your wrap halfway. Lay down another row of veggies, 2 more of each in a vertical row. 7. Roll your wrap up all the way. Cut into small bite size pieces. If you are gluten-free, you can use a gluten-free tortilla, or eliminate it all together and just wrap the Avocado Hummus and veggies in the collard green leaf, like this: I am hooked on this yummy no bake, super yummy meal or snack. It travels well so I can whip it up ahead of time if needed. I’m also hooked on it as a great veggies and dip snacker. I hope you try it! Let me know what you think. 🙂
