Directions
1 cup low-fat hummus or bean spread
8 whole wheat tortillas
4 carrots, grated
8 lettuce leaves, 1 cup baby spinach, or 5 ounces alfalfa or bean sprouts
Variation: Add thin sticks of cucumber or red bell pepper before rolling. Squeeze a dash of lemon juice into the wrap to add a tangy flavor.
Spread the hummus thinly on the tortillas. Add the carrots and lettuce. Roll up each tortilla. If you want bite-size pieces, secure with five evenly placed toothpicks and slice into five individual rolls per tortilla.
Serve Veggies in a Blanket immediately or cover tightly and store in the refrigerator for several hours. Prior to serving, bring the rolls to room temperature for the best flavor. Do not store the rolls longer than one day, as the tortillas and lettuce will become soggy.
