Field Trip Lunch Box Wraps (Printer-Friendly)

Colorful veggies layered in whole wheat wraps for a fresh and nutritious lunch option.

# What You'll Need:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas

→ Spreads

02 - 4 tablespoons hummus, classic or flavored

→ Vegetables

03 - 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
04 - 1 medium yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium carrot, peeled and julienned
06 - 1 small cucumber, julienned
07 - 1 cup purple cabbage, shredded
08 - 1 cup baby spinach leaves
09 - 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

→ Optional Add-ons

10 - 1 avocado, sliced
11 - 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

# How To Make It:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly across the tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
02 - Arrange the sliced bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, purple cabbage, and spinach in horizontal rows across the center of the tortilla to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
03 - Sprinkle with chopped herbs, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese if desired.
04 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to securely enclose all fillings.
05 - Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half. Wrap tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil for convenient transport.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Comes together in 15 minutes with zero cooking, so even on rushed mornings you can pull this off without stress.
  • Every vegetable stays crisp and fresh because you're not cooking anything, which means it tastes just as good at 3 PM as it did at 8 AM.
  • Your kids actually want to eat their vegetables when they're arranged like a rainbow instead of hidden under cheese.
02 -
  • The cucumber is the wildcard that can make your wrap soggy if you don't cut it properly—thin julienne pieces work better than thick slices because they distribute moisture more evenly throughout the wrap.
  • Assembling these more than 4 hours ahead means the hummus starts to soften the tortilla, so either make them the morning of or keep the components separate and assemble just before eating.
03 -
  • Toast your tortillas for 30 seconds on each side before spreading if you want them slightly sturdier and with a little more flavor—this is especially helpful if you're making these more than a few hours ahead.
  • Keep a container of lemon juice in your bag and squeeze it over the wrap just before eating if it's been sitting for a while, which brightens everything and prevents that slightly dull mid-day taste.
