Avocado is a superstar ingredient in Rainbow Lunch Wraps, contributing creaminess and healthy fats. To ensure maximum creaminess, choose ripe avocados that yield slightly when gently pressed. Start by slicing the avocado in half, removing the pit, and then scoop the green flesh out using a spoon.

Ingredients
  

1 large spinach or whole-wheat tortilla

1/2 cup hummus (any flavor you prefer, such as garlic or roasted red pepper)

1/4 cup shredded purple cabbage

1/4 cup shredded carrots (use a box grater or food processor for ease)

1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (remove seeds and white pith)

1/4 cup diced cucumber (English or Persian cucumbers work best)

1/4 cup diced avocado (ripe and creamy)

1/4 cup corn kernels (can be fresh, frozen, or from a can, well-drained)

1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (toasted for extra flavor)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1 tablespoon tahini for drizzling, fresh cilantro leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by washing all your veggies thoroughly. Shred the purple cabbage and carrots using a box grater or a food processor. Dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, and avocado into small, even pieces to ensure a balanced bite. Set everything aside in separate bowls for easy assembly.

    Spread the Base: Place your large tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or plate. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread an even layer of hummus across the tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges to prevent spillage when rolling.

      Layer with Color: With the hummus spread ready, begin to layer your ingredients. Start with a generous handful of shredded purple cabbage to provide a crunchy base, followed by the shredded carrots, diced red bell pepper, diced cucumber, and corn kernels. Each layer should slightly overlap for a vibrant display.

        Add the Creamy Factor: Gently place the diced avocado on top of the colorful layers, ensuring it's evenly distributed for creaminess. Then, generously scatter the alfalfa sprouts over everything. For an added depth of flavor, drizzle tahini over the top, enhancing the richness of the wrap.

          Season It: To elevate your wrap’s flavor, sprinkle a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper over the fillings. Follow with a scattering of sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and nutty aroma.

            Wrap It Up: To roll your wrap, start at one edge and carefully fold the tortilla over the fillings, tucking in the sides as you go to ensure nothing spills out. Roll tightly yet gently all the way to the other side, securing all the delicious ingredients inside.

              Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut the wrap in half diagonally, revealing the beautiful layers inside. Arrange the halves on a plate, standing them upright for a colorful display. Add a sprig of fresh cilantro on top for garnish if desired.

                Enjoy: These vibrant wraps are perfect for immediate serving or can be neatly wrapped in parchment paper for a healthy, portable lunch option.
