Rainbow Veggie Wraps
Ingredients
- 2 whole wheat tortillas
- 2 tbsp hummus or cream cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup purple cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup yellow bell pepper strips
- 1/4 cup baby spinach leaves
- 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
How to Make It
To begin crafting these wonderful rainbow wraps, start by laying out your fresh whole wheat tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Take a generous scoop of creamy hummus or soft cream cheese, and spread it evenly across each tortilla, making sure to reach almost to the edges so that every single bite is packed with delicious flavor. Once your base is perfectly smooth, it is time to build your colorful rainbow. Start by adding a vibrant layer of bright orange shredded carrots, followed closely by the deep, beautiful hues of thinly sliced purple cabbage. Next, arrange the sweet yellow bell pepper strips and gently lay down the tender, green baby spinach leaves. Finally, dot the wrap with juicy halved cherry tomatoes for a burst of freshness. When all your beautiful vegetables are carefully arranged, gently lift the bottom edge of the tortilla and begin rolling it tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Cut the finished wrap diagonally into halves or bite-sized pinwheels, revealing the stunning, colorful layers inside that will surely delight your little ones. Serve these vibrant wraps immediately, or pack them neatly into a lunchbox for a nutritious and exciting meal that brings the joy of eating a rainbow right to the table. Cooking these together can be a magical experience, as you talk about how each color provides different superpowers for growing bodies and minds.
