Cucumber & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Wrap

Drescription

This easy vegetarian wrap makes a great grab-and-go lunch for work or school. Roasted red pepper hummus adds color and a little extra flavor, but any flavor hummus will work well here. Cucumber, sprouts, salad greens or spinach all add a refreshing crunch. For a peppery kick, try using arugula.

Ingredients

1 (8 inch) whole-wheat tortilla
¼ cup roasted red pepper hummus
1 mini cucumber, sliced (1/2 cup)
½ cup mixed salad greens, spinach or sprouts

Directions

Place tortilla on a clean work surface. Spread hummus on the tortilla. Top with cucumber slices and greens (or spinach or sprouts). Roll up the tortilla and cut in half to serve.

Carolina Shrimp & Sausage Purloo

This recipe is inspired by my current region, the Low Country, and the diaspora. I’ve seen versions of this rice dish throughout my years as a chef and my years traveling the West Indies. I saw the similarities with congee and asopao. Also saw similarities with Puerto Rican arroz con pollo, Trinidadian cook-up rice or pelau, and even the famous jambalaya. I feel like this version highlighted this beautiful one-pot rice recipe.

Breakfast
