Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 leaves Large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or iceberg)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 large Avocado
- 1 cup Cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Start by preparing the avocado hummus. Cut the avocado in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the drained chickpeas, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and ground cumin to the blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning if necessary. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time and blend until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the hummus to a bowl and stir in the fresh chopped cilantro. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables for the wraps. Wash and dry the large lettuce leaves thoroughly.
Julienne the red bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot into thin strips.
To assemble the wraps, place a lettuce leaf on a clean surface or plate. Spread a generous portion of avocado hummus along the center of the leaf.
Layer a few strips each of red bell pepper, cucumber, and carrot on top of the hummus.
Carefully roll the lettuce leaf tightly around the filling to create a wrap.
Repeat the process with the remaining lettuce leaves and ingredients.
Serve the fresh vegetable wraps immediately, or refrigerate for up to two hours before serving.
