Rainbow Veggie Wraps Lunch (Printer-Friendly)

Layers of colorful vegetables wrapped in whole wheat tortillas create a fresh, healthy lunch option.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas

→ Spreads

02 - 4 tablespoons hummus, classic or flavored

→ Vegetables

03 - 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
04 - 1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
06 - 1 small cucumber, julienned
07 - 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
08 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
09 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped, optional

→ Optional Add-ons

10 - 1 avocado, sliced
11 - 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

# Direction Steps:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
02 - Arrange the sliced red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, julienned carrot, julienned cucumber, shredded purple cabbage, and baby spinach in horizontal rows across the center of the tortilla to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
03 - Sprinkle the wrap with chopped fresh herbs, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
04 - Fold the left and right sides of the tortilla inward toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to enclose all fillings securely.
05 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Slice each completed wrap in half diagonally. Wrap tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil for convenient transport and storage.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything comes together in under 15 minutes because there's zero cooking involved, just smart chopping and assembly.
  • Kids actually eat their vegetables without complaint when they're arranged like a rainbow and wrapped up like a little present.
  • The wraps stay fresh and don't get mushy the way sandwiches do, making them genuinely portable without falling apart halfway through the day.
02 -
  • Pat your cucumbers dry after julienning them, otherwise they'll release water that makes everything soggy by lunchtime, which I learned the hard way.
  • Arrange vegetables in the same order every time so there's a rhythm to assembly, and it actually goes faster than you'd think once you develop the muscle memory.
03 -
  • Use a mandoline very carefully to get your vegetables uniformly thin, which makes them look more refined and cook or soften more evenly.
  • Cut your wraps right before packing them if you're concerned about them drying out, and the diagonal cut is genuinely prettier which somehow makes people eat faster.
