Hummus Veggie Wraps

I have found a new go-to lunch that is super quick, easy to prep, and tastes delish. My husband even likes them (using the word “likes” very loosely here when there is no meat added) The first time I made them, he unrolled them and stared blankly asking “where’s the meat?” If you are in love with a meat eater like I am, then add some chicken breast and then all is right in the world.

Make brown rice and black beans ahead of time and chop a variety of veggies and mix together. Spread hummus on a whole wheat or tortilla shell and add a few spoonfuls of rice/bean/veggies. I make a batch big enough for 5-6 wraps so it’s on hand and ready to go when the craving for a hummus veggie wrap hits. You know how those veggie cravings hit you. They can be wicked! 😀

If I’m eating them fresh, I saute the veggies for a few minutes and add them to the warm rice and beans. I have also eaten them cold with raw veggies which is very refreshing in the summer. I think they are good either way.
You can change it up by using different types of veggies and hummus. I have been on a roasted red pepper hummus kick lately and so far I am not tired of it.
One thing I’ve learned on my holistic journey is that I will NOT be a food photographer anytime soon. But here is a pic of the unwrapped wrap so you can see the deliciousness inside.

Ingredients:
1 can black beans
1-2 cups cooked brown rice
1-2 cups chopped veggies of your choice (my favs are carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, avocado, red and green peppers)
2 tbs hummus
1 whole wheat or whole grain tortilla
Cook rice and mix with black beans, and veggies. Spread hummus on wrap and top with rice/black beans/veggie mix. Enjoy!
