Roasted Red Pepper Humus Wraps

One of my very favorites because it is so different from everything else we tend to eat regularly.

This is a very small 2.5-cup to the rim food processor.


First make your humus.
1 12oz can of garbanzo beans
1 roasted red pepper
1 tsp garlic
2 tbsp cilantro
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 pinch salt
1/4 tsp cumin
juice of one small lemon
1/4 cup of onions
1 tbsp veggie oil
1 tbsp tahini
1/2 tbsp jalapeno pepper

Blend all of these ingredients in a food processor until nearly creamy. You may need to add a splash of water if too thick.

Substitutions: If you don't have tahini sitting around you can eliminate the vegetable oil and tahini and replace it with 1tbsp of sesame oil. You can also replace the tahini with 2 tbsp of peanut butter.

For the wrap we used a whole wheat wrap and warmed it over the stove.

Mix together:
1 cup of lettuce
1/2 cup of cucumber
1 chopped tomato
2 tbsp red onions
5 chopped kalamata olives

Shmear the tortilla with a generous serving of humus, add your filling mixture. Wrap or Fold and eat!  I wrap mine as a like a burrito, Victor prefers his folded like a taco as in this photo.

Makes 4 of the 8 inch size tortillas and you will have half the humus left over for another meal or snack with crackers.
