Rainbow Veggie Wraps

Rainbow veggie wraps are a fun and tasty way to eat more veggies. You can make them with tortillas, hummus, and colorful vegetables. These wraps are easy to customize and perfect for quick lunches or snacks.

Try adding sweet potatoes, peppers, carrots, and cabbage for a mix of flavors and textures. You can also add cheese or dipping sauces to make them even yummier. Kids love these wraps too!

Exact Ingredients (+ Possible Substitutes)

Here’s what you’ll need for tasty rainbow veggie wraps:

• Large tortillas or wraps
• Hummus (try different flavors!)
• Shredded cheddar cheese
• Baby spinach leaves
• Red bell pepper, sliced thin
• Alfalfa sprouts
• Purple cabbage, shredded
• Carrots, grated

Don’t have everything? No worries! Try these swaps:

• Use lettuce instead of spinach
• Swap bell peppers for tomatoes
• Replace sprouts with microgreens
• Try red cabbage or swap for cucumber
• Use any cheese you like

For a creamy sauce, mix plain Greek yogurt with lemon juice, garlic, and herbs. It’s yummy for dipping!

Want to make it vegan? Skip the cheese and use vegan yogurt in the sauce. You can also add avocado for extra creaminess.

Feel free to play around with veggies. The more colorful, the better! Just remember to slice everything thin so your wrap rolls up nicely.

For extra flavor, try adding some fresh herbs like cilantro or mint. You can also swap the tortilla for a large lettuce leaf to make it even lighter. Have fun mixing and matching your favorite veggies!

Tips, Tricks & Storing

Make your rainbow veggie wraps even better with these handy tips:

• Prep veggies in advance to save time. Wash, chop, and store them in airtight containers in the fridge.

• Use a mandolin slicer for thin, uniform veggie slices. This makes wrapping easier.

• Warm your tortillas slightly before filling. It makes them more pliable and less likely to tear.

• Don’t overstuff! Too many fillings can make your wrap hard to close.

• Roll tightly and tuck in the sides as you go for a neat wrap.

To keep your wraps fresh:

• Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

• Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before eating.

Try these tasty variations:

• Add hummus or avocado for extra creaminess.
• Sprinkle with seeds or nuts for a crunchy texture.
• Include cooked quinoa or rice for a heartier meal.

Remember to experiment with different veggie combos. The more colorful, the better!
