Hummus Wrap with Turkey & Veggies

This Turkey and Veggie Hummus Wrap is made with fresh, crisp vegetables and creamy homemade hummus. Tuck it all in a jumbo-size wrap and you’ll have an epic healthy lunch idea that is unbelievably easy to assemble.

The double-duty protein from the turkey and hummus provides the fuel needed to get your kids through a day of school and sports or keep you full throughout a long workday. If hummus is your thing, I’ve got more easy to make hummus lunches.

What to Put in Hummus Wraps 

There’s no wrong way to make a lunch wrap. You can find the exact ingredients for this turkey hummus wrap in the recipe card below, or use what you have on hand to really make your own wrap. This one includes:

• Burrito-size tortilla or wrap: whole-wheat, gluten-free, or traditional flour tortilla. As long as it’s large enough to hold all the ingredients, you’re good to go!
• Hummus: helps to hold the ingredients while adding nutrition. While homemade isn’t necessary, my Greek Hummus recipe takes all those fresh flavors up a notch.
• Greens: fresh chopped arugula or salad greens.
• Shredded carrots: crunchy and tasty!
• Deli turkey: adds protein. Use any kind of sliced deli turkey you have on hand.

Here’s a quick list of other ingredients you can include in your hummus wrap for added protein or bonus veggies:

• avocado
• red onion
• lettuce or mixed salad greens
• sliced bell pepper
• hard-boiled eggs
• deli ham or chicken or roast beef
• sliced or shredded cheese

How to Make a Turkey & Veggie Hummus Wrap

I love making hummus wraps because they’re so easy! It’s a filling school lunch you can pull together in less than five minutes. Here’s how to make it: 

1. Assemble
   Spread the hummus over the tortilla first. This acts as a “glue”, helping to hold all the ingredients together. Top with the arugula or greens first to create a moisture barrier preventing the tortilla from getting soggy. Finally, add the carrots and turkey meat. 
2. Fold
   Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up nice and tight from one end to the other. Rolling it tight keeps everything inside and makes it easier to eat.
3. Pack it for school
   Slice it in half and enjoy it as is or pack it into a durable, sandwich-sized lunch container and refrigerate along with healthy sides until it’s time for school.

How to Pack Healthy Hummus Wraps for Lunch

A perfect hummus wrap for lunch is possible if you follow these tips:

Use a compartmentalized container
Having compartmentalized lunch containers comes in handy for that reason and allows me to pack additional items like fruit or a couple of oatmeal no-bake bites in one container. 

Prevent tortilla from getting soggy
If you’re making a gluten-free wrap, pack a moist paper towel on top of your wrap inside the lunchbox. Gluten-Free tortillas tend to dry out quicker than traditional flour tortillas and this will help it stay fresh until you’re ready to eat your wrap.
