1/4 cup diced cucumber

1/4 avocado, sliced

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Optional: 1 tablespoon sunflower seeds for crunch

Instructions
 

Start by laying the whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board.

    Spread the hummus evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving about an inch around the edges to avoid spilling when rolling.

      In the center of the tortilla, layer the spinach leaves, shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, and diced cucumber.

        Add the avocado slices on top, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and lemon juice for a hint of brightness.

          If using, sprinkle sunflower seeds over the veggies for added crunch.

            Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla, then start rolling from the bottom up, making sure to keep the filling tight as you go.

              Once rolled, slice the wrap in half diagonally to make it easier for kids to handle.

                Optionally, wrap in parchment paper to prevent it from unrolling, or place in a lunch container.
