Ingredients

  • 1 Small head of romaine lettuce
  • 3 Medium carrots (multicolored heirloom carrots are a fun option!)
  • 15 oz Unsalted chickpeas (1/2 a can or 2 cups)
  • .5 cups Tahini
  • .25 cups Olive oil
  • 2 Cloves garlic
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 tbsp Paprika
  • 1 pinch of salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • For the Hummus: To make hummus add drained and rinsed chickpeas into a food processor with tahini, olive oil, garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Process until creamy or until hummus is at your desired texture and consistency.
  • For the Wraps: Wash and shred carrots and add to a medium size bowl with hummus. With a spoon mix together so carrots are evenly coated. Next, gently pull apart each leaf from the head of romaine and rinse. Spoon the hummus & carrot mixture onto romaine leaves and top with a sprinkling of paprika.
