Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups baby carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • Water, as needed for consistency
  • 4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps
  • Fresh spinach leaves or mixed salad greens, for filling
  • Optional: Additional toppings such as crumbled feta cheese or sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the vegetables. Peel and trim the baby carrots and trim the green beans, ensuring they're all roughly the same size for even cooking. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering (about 1-2 minutes), add the carrots and green beans. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the veggies start to soften but still have a bit of crunch.
  3. Add the honey, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, thyme, and lemon juice to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and caramelized, being careful not to let them burn.
  4. While the veggies are cooking, prepare the hummus. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, ground cumin, and salt. Pulse until smooth, adding water a tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency (about 2-3 tablespoons should suffice).
  5. Once the vegetables are glazed and tender, remove the skillet from heat and let them cool slightly. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
  6. To assemble the wraps, lay a whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a generous amount of hummus over the tortilla, leaving about an inch from the edges. Add a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens, followed by a portion of the honey-glazed vegetables.
  7. Roll the tortilla tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to prevent fillings from spilling out. Slice the wrap in half diagonally for easy eating. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Nutrition

Keywords: For the best flavor, use fresh herbs like thyme instead of dried. Keep a close eye on the vegetables during the final sauté to prevent mushiness. Consider toasting the wraps slightly in the skillet after assembling them for added crunch.
