Roll up just a few ingredients for satisfying (and really versatile) Vegetarian Hummus Wraps. This no-cook meal is an easy lunch for school or for work or home for you. And you can make it in less than 5 minutes!
Vegetarian Hummus Wrap
I love a good wrap for kids, and this one is so, so easy and satisfying. You can use store-bought or homemade hummus and add any veggies or cheeses you like. I have my base method here with lots of options so you can customize it for your family.
This works nicely as a packed kindergarten lunch Idea, as an 5-minute lunch idea for home, a quick no-cook school lunch idea, and even a deconstructed option for an older baby or as a 1-year-old food. I love this as much as my kiddos do, so it’s an easy meal option we make and share a lot.

Ingredients You Need
To make this lunch wrap, you need these ingredients:
- Tortillas: I use whole wheat flour tortillas here in fajita-size (which is a nice medium size for both kids and adults; you can go bigger or smaller if you prefer, though).
- Hummus: This works the same with purchased hummus or homemade hummus. And any flavor you or your kids like works—Carrot Hummus, Beet Hummus, Sweet Potato Hummus, or Butternut Squash Hummus are all delicious.
- Sliced cheese: This is optional but adds more protein and satisfaction to the wrap. I like thinly sliced cheese, which is a little easier to roll up.
- Thinly sliced raw veggies: Choose from shredded lettuce, shredded carrots, thinly sliced bell pepper, and/or thinly sliced cucumbers.
TIP: You can trade in a grain-free wrap if you prefer and use a nut-free hummus as needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s a look at making this wrap for kids and adults. Scroll to the end of this post for the full recipe instructions.
- Place the wrap onto a cutting board or clean work surface. If it’s not at room temperature, warm it in the microwave briefly.
- Spread on the hummus. Add the cheese, if using, and veggies in a little line along the middle.
- Starting on one side, roll up as tightly as you can. Nudge the veggies back to the center if they move a little as you work to tightly secure them inside the wrap. The hummus will help hold the tortilla in place.
- Cut in half with a serrated knife and serve.
TIP: You can also serve the elements of this side-by-side so it’s easier for an older baby or a 1-year-old to eat.
Frequently Asked Questions
A hummus wrap is usually made with a tortilla, hummus, and an assortment of vegetables.
If wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container like a lunch box, you can store a hummus wrap in the fridge for about 2 days. (Plastic wrap will keep it fresher if you want to store it for 3 days.)
I prefer to use a whole wheat flour tortilla in a fajita size. This is easy to roll at room temperature and is a nice (not too giant!) size.
How to Store
Wrap each tightly in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Or store in an airtight container such as a lunch box in the fridge for about 2 days. (Plastic wrap will keep it fresher since it keeps more air out.)
