Field Trip Lunch Box Wraps (Printer-Friendly)

Layers of fresh veggies and hummus packed inside whole wheat tortillas for a lively, healthy lunch.

# What You 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 (optional)

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

# How-To Steps:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border.
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 feta cheese if using.
04 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely.
05 - Repeat the spreading, arranging, topping, and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
06 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for convenient transport and storage.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means you can make four lunches in the time it takes most people to boil water.
  • Every bite has a different vegetable, so you never get bored and neither do the picky eaters in your life.
  • The colors are so bright that people actually want to eat them instead of trading them away at lunch.
02 -
  • Slice and prep everything the night before if you need to, but don't assemble the wraps until the morning or the tortilla gets soft and the whole thing falls apart instead of holding its shape.
  • If the vegetables are too wet, pat them dry with paper towels first—this small step prevents the wrap from becoming a wet mess by lunchtime.
03 -
  • Warm your tortillas for just 10 seconds in the microwave or on a skillet before assembling—they become dramatically more flexible and forgiving.
  • Arrange vegetables in thin layers rather than thick piles, because thin equals better texture and better rolling, and your wraps will look elegant instead of lumpy.
