Veggie Wrap With Homemade Jalapeño Hummus

I have to say that I’m fortunate to have a cafeteria available to me at work. It really is convenient when I don’t have any leftovers to bring in for lunch. However, the meatless options in the cafeteria aren’t stellar. I often default to the veggie wrap but it seems like half of the filling options typically aren’t available for one reason or another. This can result in a lettuce and tomato wrap with a little bit of hummus and/or cheese. Not filling. Not flavorful.

With just a little bit of meal prep at the beginning of the week, I’m sure I can provide myself with a better wrap for lunch. My plan is to chop and slice all of the vegetables then place them into individual bags that I can quickly grab out of the fridge as I head out the door for work. By assembling the wraps at work, the wrap/tortilla won’t get soggy. This homemade jalapeño hummus provides so much flavor and can easily be used for dipping veggies, crackers, etc. as a side dish or snack.

Ingredients

  

• 15oz can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 2 Tablespoons tahini
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 2 Tablespoons fresh Jalapeño, chopped
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

 

• Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. You may need to scrape the sides of the processor partway through in order to fully incorporate the ingredients.
• Enjoy as a spread for a sandwich or wrap as seen in next recipe. Or enjoy as a dip for veggies, pretzels, pita chips, etc.

Notes

• If you want to add more spice to your hummus, add more jalapeño. If you prefer a milder level of heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeño before chopping and adding it to the hummus.
• To avoid getting the jalapeño oils on your hands (and potentially in your eyes if you rub them) wear plastic gloves while chopping it.
