Hummus Pinwheels
Hummus Pinwheels are a delightful and easy snack that brings together the creamy goodness of hummus with the crunch of fresh veggies, all rolled up in a soft tortilla. Perfect for parties, lunchboxes, or just a quick snack while binge-watching your favorite show, these pinwheels are not only tasty but also super simple to make. Plus, you can customize them according to your own taste buds! Let’s roll up our sleeves and get started!
Ingredients
- **Tortillas** 8 inches—you can use whole wheat, spinach, or regular flour tortillas.
- **Hummus** about 1 cup—use your favorite flavor! Classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic work well.
- **Cucumber** 1 medium—sliced thinly.
- **Bell pepper** 1 medium—sliced into strips; any color works!
- **Carrots** 1 medium—grated or julienned for that lovely crunch.
- **Spinach or mixed greens** 1 cup—to sprinkle inside your roll-ups.
- **Feta cheese** optional—crumbled; it adds a nice salty kick!
- **Olives** optional—sliced, if you want to get adventurous!
- Substitutions:
- - If you don’t have tortillas try using large lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.
- - Swap hummus with cream cheese or a bean spread for a different flavor.
Instructions
- Start by laying out your tortilla flat on a clean surface. Think of it like your canvas!
- Spread a generous layer of hummus over the tortilla. Get creative and cover the whole thing. It’s like frosting a cake but way healthier!
- Now for the veggies! Sprinkle the sliced cucumbers, bell peppers, grated carrots, and spinach evenly across the hummus.
- If you’re feeling fancy, toss in some crumbled feta or olives—you do you!
- Gently start rolling the tortilla from one end to the other. Keep it tight but not so tight that the filling squeezes out the sides.
- Once rolled up, snip the ends with a knife (or eat the ends if you’re feeling snacky). Then slice the roll into 1-inch pinwheels.
- Arrange your lovely pinwheels on a plate, and voilà! Snack time awaits!
