Ingredients:

  • 1 gluten-free tortilla wrap

  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa

  • 1/4 cup hummus

  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumber

  • 1/4 cup shredded carrots

  • 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves

  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Optional: avocado slices, sprouts, shredded chicken or tofu

Steps:

  1. Prepare the Quinoa: Cook quinoa according to package instructions and let it cool to room temperature.

  2. Assemble the Wrap: Lay the gluten-free tortilla wrap on a clean surface. Spread hummus evenly over the wrap, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

  3. Layer the Ingredients: Place cooked quinoa in a line down the center of the wrap. Top with sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, baby spinach leaves, and diced bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Optional Additions: For extra flavor and protein, add avocado slices, sprouts, or your choice of protein such as shredded chicken or tofu.

  5. Wrap It Up: Carefully fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

  6. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately, or wrap it in parchment paper or foil for a convenient on-the-go lunch option.
