Recipe steps
Make the homemade hummus
Place the drained chickpeas, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor. Blend until you get a smooth texture. If the mixture is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water or a little olive oil.
Prepare the vegetables
Grate the carrots, cut the cucumber into julienne strips, and finely slice the lettuce. Set aside the black olives.
Assemble the wrap
Spread 2 tablespoons of hummus in the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 cm at the top and bottom, and a few centimeters on the sides. Arrange the lettuce, grated carrots, julienned cucumber, and black olives.
Roll and serve
Fold the top and bottom edges of the tortilla, turn it 90 degrees, and roll the rest of the tortilla around the filling. Wrap in aluminum foil to maintain the shape, then cut in half.
Tips and variations
- No tahini on hand? Toast 1 to 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds and add them directly to the food processor instead of tahini.
- You can replace the vegetables with other raw vegetables according to your taste: radishes, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or avocado.
Anti-waste tips
Don’t throw away the chickpea liquid! This liquid called ‘aquafaba’ can replace eggs in many vegan preparations: chocolate mousse, mayonnaise, meringues… One tablespoon equals one egg yolk.
