hummus & veggie pita wrap.

Well, after a long summer of craziness, I'm back and ready to up with the recipes again!  Between getting married, the honeymoon, and a new job, my life has been a little busy, to say the least.  I am happy to be posting again and with the backlog of recipes I have photographed, I should have PLENTY to share with everyone!  Thank you for your patience :)  Now, on to the recipe!

When working in the world of retail 40+ hours a week, you are usually surrounded by unhealthy and/or expensive options for breakfast and lunch.  In order to balance my diet out, I try my hardest to bring in things from home, and even if I don't eat it thaaaat day, I do feel better about myself (just go with it).  Sometimes this may involve throwing leftovers in a bag or dashing out of the house with a bunch of ingredients that will be thrown together into some sort sandwich/salad/wrap.  As far as wraps go, this is sort of my go to when I'm feeling broke and craving vegetables.  Lucky for me, I like to keep all of these ingredients in my fridge at all times!

On a side note, I realized that I do not post enough of the "quick" recipes that I frequently use from day to day.  I suppose those recipes are the most enticing for people to try... maybe?  Either way, I promise to post more everyday recipes, so that you, too, may enjoy simple lunches and dinners (and maybe send some suggestions my way).  Also, please excuse the amounts, this is a "tweak it to your liking" type of recipe...

Hummus & Veggie Pita Wrap

Ingredients
2 Tablespoons garlic hummus
1 whole wheat pita
Handful of fresh spinach
1/4 of avocado, sliced
Slices of sweet red pepper
Slices of cucumber
Pinch of broccoli sprouts
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 lemon
(I also put tomato slices in, occasionally)

Directions
I mean, I guess I have to give directions, because, let's face it, they still have to warn us to not take a bath with our hair dryer... but I'm sure you are all smart people and can figure out how to put this together.  Right?

Heat pita in either the oven for a few minutes or zap it real quick in the microwave (quick as in 7-10 seconds quick).  Spread hummus over pita, leaving about a 1/2-1 inch rim.  Lay spinach, avocado, cucumber, and red pepper down, evenly, and top with broccoli sprouts.  Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.  Cut lemon in half and squeeze juice over vegetables.  Roll up or fold two sides together to create a wrap.

But I bet you knew all of that.  Enjoy :)
