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. The hummus adds a rich, savory flavor that complements the freshness of the veggies, while the spinach wrap ties it all together for a wholesome, vibrant dish.
