Hello, welcome to my beautiful world! My name is Prisca Bush. I am a food lover; I enjoy writing about my favorite recipes.
Introduction
One of the most joyful things I’ve discovered in my kitchen is the power of color. I remember the first time I built a wrap loaded with bright veggies—purple cabbage, orange carrots, green spinach, red peppers, and creamy avocado. It was so beautiful I almost didn’t want to eat it. Almost.
That first bite changed everything. The crunch, the freshness, the creamy hummus, and the way all the flavors blended together made me realize that healthy food can be just as satisfying (and fun!) as comfort food. Since then, Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps have become one of my go-to meals—perfect for busy weekdays, meal prep, or even impressing friends at a picnic.
These wraps are not only gorgeous to look at, but they’re also packed with nutrients, plant-based protein, and fiber. They’re proof that eating vegan doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or satisfaction. In fact, these rainbow wraps are a celebration of flavors, textures, and colors all in one bite.
Today, I’ll walk you through how to make these Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps at home—easy to prepare, versatile, and absolutely delicious.

Ingredients
Wrap Base
- 4 large whole wheat or spinach tortillas (you can also use gluten-free wraps)
- ½ cup hummus (classic, roasted red pepper, or garlic)
Rainbow Veggie Filling
- 1 cup shredded purple cabbage (for crunch and color)
- 1 large carrot, julienned or shredded
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
Optional
- ½ cup cooked quinoa or brown rice (for extra protein and fiber)
- Fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, or basil)
- A drizzle of tahini or vegan ranch dressing
How to Prepare Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps
Step 1: Prep the Veggies
- Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly.
- Julienne the carrots and cucumber. Thinly slice bell peppers, cabbage, and avocado.
- If adding quinoa or rice, cook and let it cool before assembling.
Step 2: Lay Out the Tortilla
- Place a tortilla on a clean surface or plate.
- Spread 2–3 tablespoons of hummus evenly over the tortilla. This not only adds flavor but also acts as a glue to hold everything together.
Step 3: Layer the Veggies
- Starting in the center, layer cabbage, carrots, red and yellow peppers, cucumber, avocado slices, and spinach in rainbow order.
- Keep the filling towards the middle so the wrap can roll up easily.
Step 4: Wrap It Up
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up tightly from the bottom.
- Slice in half diagonally for a beautiful presentation.
Step 5: Optional Dipping Sauce
- Serve with a small side of tahini drizzle, vegan ranch, or extra hummus for dipping.
How to Serve Vegan Veggie Rainbow Wraps
- As a Quick Lunch – Perfect for work or school; just wrap in foil or parchment paper for easy transport.
- Picnic or Outdoor Gatherings – These wraps travel well and are always a crowd-pleaser.
- Party Platter – Slice into pinwheels and arrange on a tray for a colorful appetizer.
- Meal Prep – Make 2–3 wraps in advance and refrigerate for grab-and-go meals throughout the week.
Variations
- Protein Boost – Add crispy baked tofu, tempeh strips, or chickpeas for more plant-based protein.
- Mediterranean Style – Swap hummus for baba ghanoush and add kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, and arugula.
- Spicy Kick – Drizzle sriracha or spicy vegan mayo over the veggies before rolling.
- Gluten-Free – Use gluten-free tortillas or large collard green leaves as wraps.
- Nutty Crunch – Sprinkle toasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, or crushed peanuts inside.
- Asian-Inspired – Add pickled veggies and sesame dressing for a fresh twist.
Notes
- Use Fresh Veggies: Fresh, crisp vegetables make the wrap vibrant and crunchy.
- Slice Thinly: Thin slices or julienned cuts make it easier to roll up and eat.
- Don’t Overstuff: Too much filling makes wraps harder to roll and more likely to tear.
- Seal with Hummus: Spread hummus all the way to the edges to help seal the wrap shut.
- Make It Colorful: Eating the rainbow isn’t just pretty—it ensures you get a wide range of nutrients.
FAQs
Q1. Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes! Wrap them tightly in parchment paper or foil and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. For best results, add avocado right before eating to avoid browning.
Q2. What’s the best tortilla to use?
Whole wheat tortillas add fiber and nutrition, but spinach or gluten-free wraps work great too. You can even use large collard greens for a low-carb option.
Q3. How do I prevent my wrap from falling apart?
Don’t overfill it, and spread hummus to the edges of the tortilla to act as a glue. Wrapping tightly is key.
Q4. Can I add protein?
Definitely! Crispy tofu, tempeh, seitan, or even beans like chickpeas or black beans make excellent protein-packed additions.
Q5. Are these kid-friendly?
Yes! Kids love the bright colors. You can adjust fillings to their taste—maybe less spinach and more carrots or cucumbers.
Q6. Can I freeze veggie wraps?
Freezing isn’t recommended since raw veggies lose their crunch and become soggy when thawed. They’re best enjoyed fresh.
