- Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus: 1 ½ cups canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed), ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, drained), 2 tablespoons tahini, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 1 clove garlic (minced), 2 tablespoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, 2–3 tablespoons water (as needed for blending)

- 4. Roll the wrap
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.

For the creamiest hummus, remove the skins from the chickpeas before blending. This takes an extra few minutes but creates an ultra-smooth texture. If you're short on time, the hummus can be made up to three days ahead and stored in the refrigerator, making wrap assembly even quicker on busy days.
This recipe is wonderfully adaptable. For a gluten-free option, substitute with certified gluten-free tortillas or even large lettuce leaves for a lighter, grain-free alternative. If you're looking for more protein, add some baked tofu or tempeh. For extra nutrition, consider mixing in sprouts, microgreens, or thinly sliced avocado. The hummus itself can be customized with fresh herbs like basil or dill for different flavor profiles.
These wraps are perfect on their own for a light meal, but they also pair beautifully with simple sides. Consider serving with a light Mediterranean salad, a cup of vegetable soup, or some baked sweet potato fries. For a refreshing beverage pairing, try sparkling water with lemon or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc if you're enjoying these for dinner. For a more substantial meal, add a side of marinated olives and hummus with vegetable crudités.
