author’s note

I Swear This Is the Only Lunch I Want Right Now!

When I was in college, my university had the coolest vending machines stocked with fresh, high quality food straight from the cafeteria.

I almost always had overnight oats prepped for breakfast and some kind of chicken salad ready for lunch, but on the days I came up short, I’d grab one of the hummus wraps from the vending machine. They were so good and kept me full for hours.

I randomly got a craving for one recently and realized I could easily recreate it at home. I’m so glad I did. These wraps make the best lunch or quick dinner and never disappoint.

Quick Tip

Hummus and air-fried chickpeas? Isn’t that a double dose of garbanzo beans? It sure is! That’s part of why Hummus Wraps are so satiating. Chickpeas/garbanzos are full of fiber and protein to fill you up and keep you satisfied. No meat in this recipe, but you’ll never miss it!

How To Make Hummus Wraps

  1. Cook chickpeas: Season the chickpeas, then air fry or roast until crisp but not hard.
  2. Prep veggies: While the chickpeas cook, slice all veggies thin and evenly.
  3. Warm tortillas: Heat briefly so they are soft and flexible and less likely to tear.
  4. Assemble: Spread hummus over tortilla, then gently press the crispy chickpeas into the hummus so they stick.
  5. Finish & roll: Layer on the veggies, drizzle with lemon juice or Sriracha, roll tightly.

Hummus Wrap Tips

  • Dry well: Fully dry chickpeas so spices stick and they roast crisp, not steam.
  • Single layer: Spread chickpeas in one even layer so they brown and get crisp. More browning equals more flavor.
  • Buffet style: Set out toppings and let everyone build their own wrap.
  • Eat right away: These wraps are best fresh. They soften the longer they sit.

Variations

  • Add seasoned cooked chicken with the hummus. Not vegetarian.
  • Add feta cheese: Adds great flavor and texture and acts like a salty finishing touch.
  • Swap or add veggies: Red onion, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, or tomatoes.
  • Try a different hummus flavor: Use any store-bought or from-scratch flavor you love instead of plain.
