Equipment
- 1 Cutting board
- 1 Sharp Knife
- 1 Small Mixing Bowl
- 1 spoon (for mixing and spreading)
- 1 plate or wrap board
Ingredients
- 1 tortilla regular or gluten-free
- 3 –4 tablespoons spicy hummus or store-bought hummus mixed with a few tablespoons of salsa
- 2 –3 leaves romaine lettuce or spinach, or any leafy green
- ½ cup broccoli slaw
- ¼ medium apple thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons plain unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- Pinch of salt to taste
- Pinch of black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Broccoli Slaw Mix: Place the broccoli slaw into a small mixing bowl. Add the dairy-free yogurt and freshly squeezed lemon juice over the top. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a light dash of black pepper. Using a spoon, stir thoroughly until all the slaw strands are evenly coated with the creamy dressing. This step softens the texture slightly, balances the flavors, and ensures the slaw is ready to layer inside the wrap. Set aside while preparing the other ingredients.
- Lay Out the Tortilla Base: Take your tortilla and place it flat on a clean plate, wrap board, or cutting board. Ensure the tortilla is at room temperature so it remains flexible and doesn’t tear while rolling. If you’re using a gluten-free tortilla that tends to be firmer, consider warming it for 10–15 seconds in a dry skillet or microwave to make it more pliable.
- Spread the Spicy Hummus: With the back of a spoon, spread the spicy hummus evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla. Apply a generous but thin layer, reaching close to the edges so every bite has flavor. The hummus acts as both a savory spread and a glue to help the wrap hold together once rolled.
- Add a Leafy Green Layer: Lay a few fresh romaine lettuce leaves (or your chosen greens like spinach or kale) directly over the hummus layer. This creates a crisp foundation, adds freshness, and keeps the tortilla from becoming soggy when the slaw is added. Make sure the greens cover most of the tortilla surface.
- Pile on the Broccoli Slaw: Spoon the prepared broccoli slaw mixture onto one half of the tortilla, arranging it in a neat line from side to side. Keeping the slaw on just one side helps make the rolling process easier and prevents the wrap from overfilling or falling apart. Gently press down with the spoon to compact it slightly.
- Layer the Apple Slices: Place the thin apple slices directly on top of the slaw. Spread them evenly so that each bite has a touch of sweetness and crunch. The apple not only balances the spiciness of the hummus but also adds a refreshing contrast to the creamy yogurt dressing.
- Fold and Roll the Wrap: Start by folding in the left and right sides of the tortilla toward the center to keep the filling from spilling out. Then, beginning at the edge closest to the slaw and apples, roll the tortilla tightly but gently toward the opposite side. Keep tucking the filling in as you roll to form a secure, burrito-style wrap. A snug roll ensures the wrap stays intact when sliced.
- Slice and Serve: Once rolled, place the wrap seam-side down on the cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice it cleanly in half at a diagonal angle. This not only makes it easier to eat but also gives the wrap a visually appealing presentation. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately while the tortilla is still fresh and the apples are crisp.
