- 2 tablespoons hemp seeds or 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 1/2 cup or so cooked quinoa, brown rice, or black rice
- A big handful or two of mixed baby greens, shredded lettuce, baby arugula, or baby spinach (leafy love!)
- 1 medium ripe fresh tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/2 medium firm ripe avocado, peeled and sliced (guac goals!)
- Strips of sun-dried tomato, as desired, optional

Even if you’re just dabbling in greens, these wraps make eating plants feel like a deliciously easy win.
Incorporating plant-based milks like almond or oat milk on the side can enhance the meal with additional nutrients and a refreshing taste.
How to Make It
Alright, let’s talk about making these ridiculously good hummus wraps. Grab yourself two 10-inch wraps—room temp is best, so they don’t crack or throw a tantrum when you fold them.
Slather on about 1/4 cup of your favorite hummus. Homemade if you’re feeling fancy, store-bought if you’re keeping it real.
Sprinkle a couple tablespoons of hemp seeds or a tablespoon of sesame seeds over the hummus if you’re in the mood for a little extra crunch and that sneaky nutritional boost. Don’t skip this part unless you hate deliciousness.
Now, pile on about 1/2 cup of cooked quinoa, brown rice, or black rice right down the center. This is your hearty base—think of it as the comfy couch for all your greens and veggies to chill on.
Speaking of greens, grab a big handful or two of mixed baby greens, shredded lettuce, baby arugula, or baby spinach and throw those on one side of your rice pile.
On the other side, lay out half of a medium ripe tomato, sliced thin so it’s not doing a tomato mic-drop but still making a statement.
Then, scatter half of a firm ripe avocado, peeled and sliced, here and there like little green gems.
If you’re feeling fancy or just love that tangy twist, toss in some sun-dried tomato strips. Honestly, this wrap is like a plant-based party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited.
For an extra touch of indulgence, you might want to try pairing your wrap with vegan chocolate truffles as a sweet treat to round out your meal.
Once you’ve got your masterpiece assembled, fold those wraps up like a pro—or like you’re trying to hide your snack from roommates. The wraps hold together nicely, so no need for a wrestling match.
This recipe makes two wraps, but hey, double it if you’re really hungry or planning to share with a friend who appreciates your culinary charm.
Serve it with a bowl of vegan cream of broccoli soup if you want to look like you know what you’re doing in the kitchen. Enjoy!
Bonus Tips
- Feeling fancy? Toast your seeds before sprinkling—because even your wraps deserve a little spa day.
- Swap out the greens for some spicy kale or tangy radicchio if you’re feeling wild and want a flavor rollercoaster.
- Forgot your hummus? No worries, mashed avocado with a pinch of garlic and lemon is a totally acceptable imposter.
Why You’ll Love It
This wrap is basically your new best friend when hunger calls and you want something that doesn’t require a culinary degree or a PhD in meal prep. It’s like a flavor party where creamy hummus, crunchy greens, and nutty grains all get to dance together—no RSVP needed.
Plus, it’s super chill about substitutions, so whether you’re team quinoa or squad brown rice, it’s got your back. Vegan eating just got a little more fun and way less “what do I even make?” stressful.
