spicy hummus sprout wrap

today is earth day! a veggie diet is one of the top ways to green up your life and reduce your carbon footprint. one person can make a difference! on earthsave.org, you can read:

+10 people could be fed with the grain used to feed 1 cow
+for every pound of beef you do not eat, you save 2,500-5,000 gallons of water
+over 280 gallons of oil are used to feed a cow before slaughter
+animal agriculture is the number one cause of methane and nitrous gas emissions


white bean hummus:
  • 1 15oz. can white beans (drained & rinsed)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons tahini
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • sriracha (optional)
wrap:
  • 2 whole wheat wraps
  • 2 cups sprouts
  • 5 baby spinach leaves
  • 1 avocado
  • 5-6 roasted red pepper slices
to make the spicy hummus, put all the hummus ingredients in food processor or magic bullet and blend away. i prefer to add the sriracha last, adding until it meets my spice preference.

spread the hummus on wrap. this hummus recipe makes enough for about 4 wraps, so you can keep the extra refrigerated for a few days. you can buy sprouts, or make your own just as easily - read here for miss v's easy sprouting instructions. place sprouts (here with garbanzo, black-eyed peas and green lentils), avocado slices, spinach and roasted red pepper slices on each wrap. roll up and devour with an earth-friendly conscious. :)
