Ingredients
Tortillas: I typically use large whole grain tortillas for higher fibre content. You can also sub in regular flour tortillas or gluten-free if preferred.
Falafels: Provides that delicious Mediterranean flavour to these wraps. Use this homemade falafel recipe or your favourite falafel recipe to make these wraps. You can also use store-bought if you’re short on time.
Hummus: Acts as a glue to secure all of the ingredients in the wrap and provides some extra flavour. Use a homemade hummus (try this Sweet Potato Hummus) or store-bought for a quick and easy option.
Beets: Adds a vibrant burst of colour. Shred the raw beets up before adding them to the wrap. You may wish to wear kitchen gloves when shredding the beets to prevent them from staining your hands.
Carrots: Adds a refreshing crunch to the wrap. Shred large carrots or purchase matchstick carrots for a more convenient option.
Avocado: Incorporates healthy fats and a delicious creaminess. Use ripe avocados that have not yet browned for the best taste and presentation.
Spinach: Use fresh baby spinach. You could also use arugula, baby kale or shredded lettuce if preferred.
