Call these breakfast hummus wraps- tacos/ burritos or just wraps but make them. They are easy, quick to make and packed with nutrition. Easy to make ahead, and pack it for breakfast, lunch or have them as a quick no fuss dinner.
I love breakfast. And I love planning for it. Its so important to have a filling breakfast- sets the pace going for the day. These breakfast hummus wraps are so easy to make, yet they pack so much that you are good to go till lunch.
I feel most recipes are only guide lines, and the possibilities are endless to make them your own. Case in point- these breakfast hummus wraps/burritos. They are so easy to customize, and so many different options to try. You could use scrambled paneer instead of eggs to give it a vegetarian spin. You could add some sautéed mushrooms, black beans or even bacon or sausages. While I find them quick enough to whip up in the morning, but once our busy schedule starts again, you could also make these ahead and freeze them wrapped in parchment paper.
While we have been mainly having a single wrap for our breakfast, these breakfast hummus wraps would make a great lunch or even dinner option. You could use store bought tortilla, or make your own wraps with roti dough like I did.
Store bought hummus is fine, but as the title wrap this is a HUMMUS wrap, so make sure if you are not making your own you get the one you like the most.
Side note: it really is easy to make hummus- only thing is that it does require some prep time- soaking chickpeas, pressure cooking them, peeling the skin off for smooth hummus. You could use canned chickpeas to save time. The other components of a good hummus are tahini, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, cumin and a few cubes of ice. Trust me on this- ice cubes lend a nice creamy texture to the hummus. So does removing the skins, though it is not absolutely necessary if you have a good blender. For the taste, make sure you use the best olive oil, and lots of tahini. I am not big on sesame seeds, but hummus needs tahini and a generous amount does elevate the taste. I realize I don’t have a recipe on the blog yet, because I always add according to the boiled chickpeas I am using, and haven’t yet written the measurements down. Next time will measure so that I can share the recipe with you.
The idea for these breakfast hummus wraps actually came when I had leftover hummus from the pita falafel wraps and a mezze platter I had made. The platter had homemade falafels, homemade pita, homemade hummus among other things. You can find the recipe for the homemade falafels here. The recipe for pita and hummus is pending and have made a note to post about them soon.
