Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Large whole-grain tortilla
- 4 tablespoons Hummus
- 6 slices Sliced cucumber
- 6 whole Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Shredded carrots
- 3 whole Black olives
- 2 pieces Cheddar cheese (cut into thin rectangular strips)
Instructions
1. Lay the whole-grain tortilla flat on a clean work surface. This will be the base of your clock.
2. Generously spread the hummus evenly across the entire surface of the tortilla to act as the 'glue' for your toppings.
3. Arrange the cucumber slices around the edge of the tortilla, spacing them like the numbers on a traditional clock face.
4. Place a cherry tomato between each cucumber slice to add vibrant color and reinforce the clock aesthetic.
5. Sprinkle the shredded carrots lightly in the center of the tortilla, avoiding the area around the cucumber and tomatoes.
6. Slice the black olives in halves or quarters to create small detailing pieces (such as dots or clock designs), and use them to decorate as desired.
7. Finally, place the thin cheddar cheese strips in the center to form the 'clock hands'. Adjust one strip to point at the time of your choice, such as '3 o’clock' or '12 o’clock'.
8. Carefully transfer the finished clock onto a serving plate and serve immediately. Alternatively, you can gently roll the tortilla into a wrap to serve as a handheld snack.
9. Enjoy your edible Yummy to the Tummy Clock!
