How to Master Crunch Avocado Wrap Technique

Tortilla Preparation Technique

Brief warming for optimal pliability without drying. This method ensures easy folding and prevents tearing during assembly.

Strategic Layering Method

Thoughtful ingredient arrangement preventing sogginess and texture loss. This approach maintains distinct textures and flavors in every bite.

Crunch Preservation Strategy

Proper timing of crunchy component addition for maximum textural contrast. This technique ensures crisp elements remain crisp until serving.

Wrap Rolling Approach

Secure folding technique containing ingredients without squeezing out fillings. This method creates a portable wrap that holds together during eating.

Baking Tips

For maximum crunch, add the crispy elements (chickpeas, pepitas) just before rolling the wrap

To prevent soggy wraps when making ahead, place greens as a barrier between wet ingredients and the tortilla

Slightly under-ripe avocados hold their shape better in wraps than very ripe ones

Warm the tortillas before filling to make them more pliable and less likely to tear

For meal prep, prepare all ingredients but store separately and assemble just before eating

Make your own crispy chickpeas by roasting drained, patted-dry canned chickpeas with olive oil and spices

For a low-carb option, use large lettuce leaves instead of tortillas to make lettuce wraps

A squeeze of fresh lime directly on the avocado helps prevent browning

Toast the tortilla in a dry pan after rolling for a crispy exterior

For a heartier protein option, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or tempeh

Substitute Greek yogurt for hummus for a different creamy base

For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free corn or cassava tortillas

Ingredients

Custard Cream

2 large flour tortillas (10-inch) or spinach wraps

1 large ripe avocado, sliced

1/2 cup hummus (classic or flavor of choice)

1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup thinly sliced red cabbage

1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/4 cup sliced cucumber

1/4 cup crunchy sprouts (such as alfalfa or radish sprouts)

1/4 cup roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

1/4 cup crispy chickpeas (store-bought or homemade)

1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (omit for dairy-free)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

For the dressing:

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the dressing by whisking together olive oil, lime juice, honey, cumin, optional red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside.

Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 10-15 seconds per side, or in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.

Spread a generous layer of hummus on each tortilla, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.

Arrange the sliced avocado in the center of each tortilla, on top of the hummus.

Layer the spinach leaves over the avocado.

Add the shredded carrots, red cabbage, red onion, and cucumber slices.

Sprinkle the sprouts, roasted pepitas, and crispy chickpeas over the vegetables for crunch.

Add crumbled feta cheese if using.

Drizzle the prepared dressing over the filling ingredients.

Sprinkle with chopped cilantro.

To fold the wrap, fold in the sides of the tortilla, then fold up the bottom edge and roll tightly away from you, tucking in the sides as you roll.

For neater presentation, wrap each wrap in parchment paper, twisting the ends to secure.

Cut each wrap in half diagonally before serving.

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
