Easy, colorful, and kid-friendly veggie pinwheel wraps perfect for healthy lunchboxes. These wraps combine fresh veggies with creamy spreads for a satisfying crunch and vibrant appearance.

Ingredients

  • Large flour tortillas (whole wheat or gluten-free options like almond or oat flour tortillas)
  • Hummus (any favorite flavor, Sabra Classic recommended)
  • Cream cheese, softened (optional)
  • Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Carrot, shredded or julienned
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
  • Baby spinach leaves or mixed greens
  • Grated cheddar or mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or basil, finely chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all fresh produce. Thinly slice the red and yellow bell peppers into 1/8-inch strips. Julienne or shred the carrots and cucumbers. Remove thick stems from spinach or greens. (About 10 minutes)
  2. In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese with chopped fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. If using only hummus, have it ready to spread. (2-3 minutes)
  3. Place one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture or hummus over the entire tortilla, leaving about half an inch from the edges.
  4. Arrange spinach leaves evenly over the spread, then add colorful rows of bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers. Sprinkle with grated cheese if using.
  5. Starting from one edge, roll the tortilla tightly but gently to avoid squeezing out the filling. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  6. Remove wraps from the fridge, unwrap, and cut into 1-inch thick slices using a sharp serrated knife.
  7. Arrange the pinwheels in lunchboxes or on serving plates. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use fresh, crisp veggies to avoid sogginess. Spread thin but even layers of hummus or cream cheese to help hold veggies in place. Chill wraps before slicing to maintain shape. Avoid overloading with veggies to prevent tearing. Use a serrated knife for clean slices. Wraps can be prepared up to 2 days ahead and stored refrigerated. Freezing is not recommended.
