Veggie Spinach Wraps with Hummus are a fresh, healthy, and satisfying meal that’s perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Spinach tortillas are filled with a variety of crunchy veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, carrots, and avocado, all topped with a generous spread of creamy hummus.

These wraps are perfect for meal prep, easy to pack for lunches, and a great way to get in your daily dose of vegetables!
