Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

1 cup purple cabbage, shredded

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 carrot, julienned

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup fresh spinach leaves

½ cup hummus (your favorite flavor)

Juice of 1 lime

Salt and pepper to taste

Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing all your vegetables. Shred the purple cabbage, julienne the carrot, and slice the red and yellow bell peppers, cucumber, and avocado.

    In a mixing bowl, toss the shredded cabbage, sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, and thinly sliced cucumber with lime juice. Season with salt and pepper, mixing until well combined.

      Lay a whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2 tablespoons of hummus evenly across the tortilla, leaving about an inch border around the edges.

        On one side of the tortilla, layer a handful of spinach leaves followed by a portion of the mixed veggies and a few slices of avocado.

          Carefully fold the edges of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it tightly from the edge with the filling towards the opposite end. Ensure it’s tightly wrapped to hold all the ingredients together.

            Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas until all the ingredients are used.

              Once wrapped, slice each wrap in half diagonally and arrange them on a platter. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for an extra crunch.
