I first came across Andrea’s blog My Chihuahua bites<\/a>! when I was Googling the words “Andrea’s blog” and “Andrea Leigh”.\u00a0 No, I’m not weird, that’s my name too and I was excited to see it was a recipe blog.\u00a0 I like her idea about Tuesdays At The Table<\/a> and wanted to contribute, so I pulled up my favorite healthy, vegetarian lowfat recipe.\u00a0 It’s a wrap that I created, trying to duplicate one I got at Mother Earth Market in Ocala, FL.\u00a0 Mine turned out even\u00a0 better.\u00a0 I call it the Carrot Hummus Spinach Wrap<\/span>.<\/p>\n

You will use 10 Minute Hummus<\/span> for this recipe.\u00a0 I like parsley<\/a> and garlic in mine because taste and the health benefits. Try yours with and without.\u00a0 Here’s how to make the 10 Minute Hummus<\/span> first.<\/p>\n

One 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
\n1\/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
\nJuice of one lemon (depending on taste)
\n1- 1\/2 tablespoons tahini
\n3 cloves garlic, crushed
\n1 teaspoon sea salt
\n2 tablespoons olive oil
\nA handful of chopped parsley, maybe fluffing up to a cup including fluffy tops<\/p>\n

Preparation:<\/span>
\nDrain chickpeas and set liquid aside for later. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Add 1\/4 cup of liquid from chickpeas. Blend for 3-5 minutes on low until thoroughly mixed and smooth.\u00a0 If this was a dip, you’d add more garbanzo bean water to make it dippy.\u00a0 To keep it firmer and more sandwichey, less garbanzo water.<\/p>\n

TORTILLA TIPS. <\/span>
\nThey make fat free white flour tortillas (or wraps), as well as white flour tortillas that have 11 grams of fiber each.\u00a0 <\/span>Also available are pink sundried tomato tortillas, and green spinach tortillas.<\/span> The green and pink tortillas are more fragile than the white flour tortillas and tend to split when folded.<\/p>\n

How To Assemble Your Carrot Hummus Spinach Wrap.<\/span> Warm a tortilla wrap on the stove to soften it.\u00a0 As you assemble it, remember you will want to fold it over, or wrap it up, so leave room to do that.\u00a0 Or you can just leave it as a big sloppy hand feedbag like my cousin does, and eats it over the sink.<\/p>\n

Place your tortilla wrap on the plate.
\nPut 1-2 tablespoons of hummus in the center and spread it around the center.<\/p>\n

Put some fresh spinach leaves in the center.
\nAdd another 1-2 tbsp of hummus.<\/p>\n

Place a handful of carrot matchsticks on top of the hummus.
\nAdd another 1-2 tbsp. hummus and fold up.<\/p>\n

You can also add sliced tomato and red onion.\u00a0 Awesome flavor, healthy, lowfat.<\/p>\n
