This veggie wrap is easy to make, low in calories, and packed with nutrients. It’s perfect for a light, satisfying meal before bed.
Ingredients:
- 1 whole wheat or low-carb tortilla
- 1/2 cup hummus (or Greek yogurt for added protein)
- 1/2 cup mixed fresh vegetables (like cucumber, bell pepper, spinach, shredded carrots, and cherry tomatoes)
- 1/4 avocado, sliced
- A handful of fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: A sprinkle of feta cheese or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Wash and chop the fresh vegetables into thin strips or small pieces to make them easy to wrap.
- Spread the Base: Lay the tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the hummus (or Greek yogurt) evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Add the Vegetables: Layer the fresh vegetables on top of the hummus. Start with leafy greens like spinach, then add the other vegetables, keeping them evenly distributed.
- Add Avocado and Herbs: Place the avocado slices on top of the vegetables, then sprinkle with fresh herbs. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Wrap It Up: Gently fold in the sides of the tortilla, then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a wrap. If the wrap is too large, you can cut it in half.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately, or wrap it in foil or parchment paper if you’re eating it later.

- Light and Easy to Digest: This wrap is light on the stomach, making it suitable for late-night eating.
