Mediterranean Style Hummus Wrap
Mediterranean style hummus wraps are a delicious and nutritious meal option that is perfect for those who love fresh, vibrant flavors. It is a versatile dish that can be customized to suit individual preferences, making it a great choice for a quick and easy lunch or dinner.
I really enjoyed this theme of rolls and wrap this week. This is my last wrap/roll for the week and it involves my favorite hummus. When eating out at a Mediterranean restaurant, the most loved thing I eat is the hummus.
I love the nuttiness of hummus and when topped with crunchy lettuce and grilled onions, the flavors are just amazing. The wrap I made today is something very simple. I have just added some grilled onions, but if you wish, grill a few more vegetables (like zucchini and bell pepper) and add them to the wrap.
Hummus is a staple food in Mediterranean cuisine and is made from mashed chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic. It is a great source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats that are essential for good health. Vegetables such as lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers add crunch and freshness to the wrap, while herbs like parsley and cilantro add a burst of flavor and aroma.
Also, any salad greens or mixed herbs can be added for the crunch. You could also add some sliced carrots or cucumbers to the wrap. I used my grill pan to grill the onions and the tortilla. If you do not have one, simply use your regular pan and caramelize the onions.
