Notes
Grilling the wrap:
Grilling the wrap is optional, but if you are at home and have the time I recommend it! It adds a nice little crunchy texture and heats the ingredients slightly.
Storage:
This wrap is perfect to bring to work, but needs to be eaten the same day it's prepared. Wrap it tightly to make sure it doesn't fall apart during transportation. If you are worried about the wrap getting soggy, pack all the ingredients in small containers and assemble it right before you eat. I personally find this lasts quite well for 1 day in the fridge.
Meal Prep:
Double the recipe, chop your ingredients ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and prepare a wrap within 1-2 minutes in the morning. This is a great way to vegan meal prep and gives you healthy lunches for the entire week!
Beet Hummus:
If you don't like the taste of beets, simply swap beet hummus for another flavour such as garlic.
