Description:
Healthy bread wrap with hummus and vegetable fillings~

Ingredients:
2 slices wholewheat bread
1/2 tomato, chopped
1 lettuce leaf, shredded
1 slice processed cheese

Directions
1) Flatten bread between two pieces of clingfilm with a pin roller.
2) Spread equal amounts of hummus in a horizontal line down the middle of each flat bread.
3) Arrange the cheese, lettuce and tomato on top of the hummus.
4) Roll up and cut each wrap in half to serve.

Remarks:
Hummus has been proposed as a healthier alternative over certain foods. In this case, it has replaced the butter that is usually spread onto wraps to impart moisture and taste. For comparable amount calories, hummus provides a greater variety of nutrients relative to butter. I particularly like its taste with the cheese and tomatoes. Kudos to those who advocate hummus in wraps!
