Instructions

Prepare the Base: Lay one low-sodium whole-wheat tortilla flat on a clean, dry cutting board or work surface.
Season the Avocado: In a small bowl, mash the ¾ avocado with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky. Stir in the lemon juice and garlic powder to brighten the flavor.
Spread: Spread one-third of the seasoned avocado mixture (approx. ¼ avocado) evenly over the tortilla surface, leaving a ½-inch border clear along one edge to facilitate easier rolling and sealing.
Layer Hummus & Seasoning: Distribute 2 tablespoons of the low-sodium hummus gently over the avocado layer. Sprinkle a pinch of the freshly ground black pepper across the spreads.
Add Greens and Vegetables: Arrange one-third of the baby spinach (approx. ⅓ cup) over the hummus. Next, distribute one-third of the sliced assorted vegetables (approx. ⅚ cup) evenly on top of the spinach.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle 1 ½ tablespoons of the shredded cheese over the vegetable layer.
Roll the Wrap: Carefully and firmly roll the tortilla, starting from the edge closest to you. Tuck in the fillings as you go to create a compact cylinder. The small un-spread border should help seal the wrap.
Serve: Slice the wrap in half, either straight across or diagonally, and serve immediately. Repeat steps 1-7 for the remaining two wraps.

Notes

Tortilla Selection: Sodium content in tortillas varies significantly by brand. Look for whole-wheat options with less than 250mg of sodium per serving to keep the sodium count low.
Hummus Tip: If you cannot find low-sodium hummus, you can make a quick version at home using no-salt-added canned chickpeas, tahini, lemon, and garlic.
Make Ahead: To prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy, layer the spinach between the spreads and the moist vegetables. These are best enjoyed within 24 hours.
