Prep Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4 wraps

Ingredients:

• 4 whole-grain tortillas or wraps
• 1 cup hummus (flavor of your choice, e.g., classic or roasted red pepper)
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumbers
• 1/2 cup edamame, shelled and cooked
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
• Shredded cheese (optional)
• Ranch or yogurt dressing (optional)

Instructions:

1. Spread the Base: Lay a tortilla flat and evenly spread 2 tablespoons of hummus across the surface. This acts as a tasty glue to hold everything together.
2. Layer the Fillings: Add a layer of mashed edamame, followed by shredded carrots, spinach leaves, and cucumber. If your kids love cheese, add a light sprinkle of shredded cheese.
3. Add Flavor: Drizzle a bit of ranch or yogurt dressing for an extra zing (optional).
4. Roll it Up: Tightly roll the tortilla, tucking in the edges as you go to keep everything secure. Slice it into halves or pinwheels for a fun presentation.
5. Pack or Serve: Wrap each in foil or parchment paper for lunchboxes or serve immediately.

Mom’s Pro Tip:

Make these wraps the night before and store them in the fridge for busy mornings. To keep them fresh, wrap each one in foil or parchment paper.

Bonus: Customize with your kids’ favorite veggies or even a sprinkle of sunflower seeds for crunch! If your kid like a sweeter option, replace the savory fillings with almond butter, sliced bananas and a drizzle of honey!
