Ingredients

Hummus:

  • 1 (15-oz) can chickpeas, (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 3 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup olive oil

Tortilla Roll-Ups:

  • ½ cup hummus, (see above)
  • 4 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and grated (about 1 cup)
  • 1 avocado, sliced

Preparation

To make hummus:

  1. Place the chickpeas, garlic, tahini paste, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor and pulse to combine.
  2. Add the olive oil and pulse until smooth and creamy.

To make roll-ups:

  1. Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus on each tortilla, taking care to cover the edges, since the hummus will act as a glue to hold the wrap together.
  2. Sprinkle ¼ cup of the grated carrots along the closest edge of each tortilla, and lay ¼ of the avocado slices on top of the carrots.
  3. Roll up, slice in half diagonally, and then serve.
