Ree Drummonds Heavenly Hummus Wrap Recipe 415

HOMEMADE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Combine three 15-ounce cans chickpeas (drained and rinsed), 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon tahini, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 3 chopped garlic cloves, the juice of 1/2 lemon and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a food processor or high-powered blender. Pulse until somewhat smooth, adding up to 1 cup water to reach the right consistency. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and pulse. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

REE DRUMMOND'S HEAVENLY HUMMUS WRAP RECIPE - (4.1/5)

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the red onions and cook slowly for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and deep golden brown. Set aside and let them cool slightly. Grill the tortilla on a grill pan over medium heat for 1 minute, just until it has grill marks on the outside. (If you don't have a grill pan, just use a skillet.) The tortilla should still be soft and pliable; just with a little bit of color! Let the tortilla cool slightly. To assemble the wrap, spread the hummus down the middle third of the tortilla. Arrange the cooked onion slices and the sliced roasted red peppers all over the hummus. Add the artichoke heart halves. Toss the salad greens in the balsamic dressing, then lay them on the wrap. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled feta all over the greens. Carefully wrap up the tortilla, tucking in the ends. Slice the wrap down the middle, share with a friend, and chow down!

HUMMUS WRAP

Steps:

• Turn on a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and drop in the garlic cloves. Process until they are chopped and adhere to the sides of the bowl. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, and process until very smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• For each wrap, warm a large flour tortilla for about 10 seconds in the microwave or over a burner, just until flexible. Lay it on your work surface and cover with lettuce leaves, leaving a two-inch border all the way around. Place 3 heaped tablespoons hummus (about 1/4 cup) on top of the lettuce on the bottom half of the tortilla. Top with the red pepper, the cucumber and a few leaves of mint if desired.
• Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla over the filling. Fold in the sides, then roll up, squeezing the tortilla so that the roll is compact. Place the roll on a piece of plastic wrap. Fold in the sides of the plastic over the ends of the wrap, and roll up tightly to secure. Refrigerate for at least five minutes and for as long as 24 hours.

HEAVENLY HUMMUS
