One of the most compelling reasons to embrace a diet rich in colorful vegetables is the nutritional advantages that come with variety. Each vegetable boasts its unique set of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which work together to promote overall health. For example, leafy greens, such as spinach, are rich in iron and calcium, while vibrant bell peppers are packed with vitamin C. By including a wide range of vegetables in your meals, you ensure that your body receives the essential nutrients it needs to function optimally.

Ingredients
  

4 large spinach or whole wheat tortillas

1 cup shredded purple cabbage

1 large carrot, peeled and julienned

1 small cucumber, trimmed and thinly sliced

1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced

1 medium avocado, pitted and sliced

1 cup alfalfa sprouts

½ cup hummus (of your choice)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Optional: Fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley, chopped for garnish

Optional: Balsamic glaze for an elegant drizzle

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: Begin by rinsing all the fresh vegetables under cold water to remove any dirt. Julienne the carrot into thin strips, slice the cucumber, and cut the red and yellow bell peppers into thin strips. Shred the purple cabbage using a sharp knife or mandoline for even pieces.

    Spread the Hummus: Place each tortilla flat on a clean, dry surface or cutting board. Take approximately 2 tablespoons of hummus and spread it evenly across each tortilla, leaving about an inch of space around the edges to allow for wrapping later.

      Layer the Vegetables: In the center of each tortilla, start layering the prepared vegetables. Begin with a generous handful of shredded purple cabbage, followed by the julienned carrots, cucumber slices, red and yellow bell pepper strips, avocado slices, and a mound of alfalfa sprouts. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle any desired fresh herbs over the top.

        Sprinkle with Lemon Juice and Season: Drizzle fresh lemon juice over the layered veggies and lightly season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. This adds brightness and enhances the flavors.

          Wrap It Up: To wrap, first fold the sides of the tortilla inward. Then, starting from the bottom edge of the tortilla, roll it tightly up towards the top while keeping the fillings secured inside, ensuring everything is snug.

            Slice and Serve: Once all wraps are securely rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each wrap diagonally in half, making them easier to hold and enjoy. If desired, drizzle with balsamic glaze and garnish with chopped fresh herbs for visual appeal and added flavor.

              Enjoy! Serve these vibrant rainbow wraps right away for a fresh and crunchy delight. If you're making them to go, wrap each one tightly in foil or parchment paper for a delicious on-the-run meal.
