TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for the preparation of Mini Whole-grain Hummus Wrap With Carrot:
- Use Fresh Hummus: Opt for a high-quality or homemade hummus to enhance the flavour and creaminess.
- Shred Evenly: Shred the carrots finely for easier rolling and even distribution.
- Add Crunch: Sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for added texture.
- Warm The Tortilla: Lightly warm the tortilla to make it more pliable and prevent tearing.
VARIATIONS
- Leafy Greens: Add a few baby spinach or lettuce leaves for extra nutrition.
- Vegetable Boost: Include thin slices of cucumber or bell pepper for added crunch and hydration.
- Spicy Kick: Mix a dash of chilli flakes or hot sauce into the hummus for a spicy variation.

PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Wraps can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the wraps the night before and keep them chilled for easy grab-and-go snacking.
