Vegetarian Hummus Wraps To Share With The Kids

Vegetarian Hummus Wrap

I love a good wrap for kids, and this one is so, so easy and satisfying. You can use store-bought or homemade hummus and add any veggies or cheeses you like. I have my base method here with lots of options so you can customize it for your family. This works nicely as a packed kindergarten lunch Idea, as an 5-minute lunch idea for home, a quick no-cook school lunch idea, and even a deconstructed option for an older baby or as a 1-year-old food. I love this as much as my kiddos do, so it’s an easy meal option we make and share a lot. (You may also like my Hummus without Tahini, Carrot Hummus, easy Beet Hummus, and my fun Pizza Pinwheels.)

Tortillas: I use whole wheat flour tortillas here in fajita-size (which is a nice medium size for both kids and adults; you can go bigger or smaller if you prefer, though). Hummus: This works the same with purchased hummus or homemade hummus. And any flavor you or your kids like works—Carrot Hummus, Beet Hummus, Sweet Potato Hummus, or Butternut Squash Hummus are all delicious. Sliced cheese: This is optional but adds more protein and satisfaction to the wrap. I like thinly sliced cheese, which is a little easier to roll up. Thinly sliced raw veggies: Choose from shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, thinly sliced bell pepper, and/or thinly sliced cucumbers.

TIP: You can trade in a grain-free wrap if you prefer and use a nut-free hummus as needed.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s a look at making this wrap for kids and adults. Scroll to the end of this post for the full recipe instructions. TIP: You can also serve the elements of this side-by-side so it’s easier for an older baby or a 1-year-old to eat.

How to Store

Wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or store in an airtight container such as a lunch box in the fridge for about 2 days. (Plastic wrap will keep it fresher since it keeps more air out.) TIP: Find my Favorite Kids Lunch Boxes for great options.

Best Tips for Success

If your tortilla isn’t at room temperature, warm it for 15 seconds in the microwave or briefly in a pan over medium heat to help it become a little more pliable—and easy to roll. I prefer to use fajita-size tortillas in this recipe. Trade in crumbled goat cheese or feta for the sliced cheddar cheese if you prefer. Use thinly sliced veggies that you and the kids like. Serve deconstructed for younger eaters who may find the texture of a full wrap too hard to hold and bite. Serve with Sliced Baked Apples, Fruit Sticks, Yogurt Melts, or any other easy lunch snacks.
