Field Trip Lunch Wraps (Print Version)

Nutritious wraps filled with fresh bell peppers, carrot, cucumber, cabbage, and spinach for a vibrant lunch.

# What You'll 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

→ Optional Add-ons

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

# How to Make It:

01 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly across the entire tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
02 - Layer the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, julienned cucumber, shredded purple cabbage, and baby spinach in horizontal rows across the center of the tortilla to create a vibrant rainbow effect.
03 - Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs, avocado slices, and crumbled feta cheese over the vegetable layers if using these optional ingredients.
04 - Fold the sides of the tortilla inward toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom edge upward to completely enclose the filling.
05 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining three tortillas and fillings. Slice each completed wrap diagonally in half. Wrap tightly in parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy transport and storage.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These wraps come together in 15 minutes flat, making them perfect for chaotic mornings when you actually want to sit down with breakfast.
  • Every bite delivers different textures and flavors, so eating them never feels boring or repetitive.
  • The rainbow effect makes them Instagram-worthy enough that even picky eaters get curious about what's inside.
  • You can prep the vegetables the night before and just assemble at the last minute if mornings are really tight.
02 -
  • Pat your cucumber and spinach completely dry before adding them, or moisture will seep into the tortilla and make everything mushy by lunchtime.
  • Don't skimp on the hummus spread because it creates a barrier that keeps the tortilla from getting soggy, even if you pack these hours ahead.
  • Roll tightly enough that when you slice diagonally, the wrap holds together without the filling spilling out, but not so tight that the tortilla tears.
03 -
  • Buy your vegetables at a farmers market if you can, because the flavor and crispness difference is genuinely noticeable compared to grocery store versions.
  • If avocado is your thing, add it right before eating instead of packing it in advance, because it browns and gets mushy if it sits too long.
  • Make a big batch of these wraps on Sunday and you'll have grab-and-go lunches that taste like you actually care about your meals all week long.
