Featuring an easy homemade olive hummus, these wraps are an easy and delicious lunch for home, school, or work.
Hummus has had a spectacular run as one of the fastest-growing snack foods in the U.S. (and probably beyond) after eons as a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine.
If you want to enjoy it often, consider making it yourself, provided that you have a food processor. You can add all kinds of ingredients to vary it each time — case in point, this olive hummus, which results in extra tasty wraps.
Hummus is more cost-effective to make yourself. Most hummus containers are 10 ounces — barely over a cup — and for a household of hummus fans, that can go very quickly.
So many ways to vary homemade hummus: One of the best things about homemade hummus is that you can vary it in so many ways. Even though it’s great straight up, each time I make it, I add an extra ingredient to the basic formula.
Sometimes it might be olive hummus, which contrasts so nicely with the mellow avocado in these easy and delectable wraps; some of my other iterations include roasted red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, or herbs. Just like in the store-bought varieties, but fresher and cheaper.
