Hummus is probably one of the most versatile, nutrient dense spreads. There are so many variations that can be used to make a great sandwich, wrap or just as a dip. This pita wrap feautres homemade pesto hummus (yum!) and roasted vegetables. Extremely simple and an easy lunch for work. This also uses Za’atar seasoning which is a Middle Eastern spice blend that contains sesame seeds and sumac. Good flavor, good nutrients, all around good feels with these wraps! Serve extra hummus with raw vegetables, pretzels, or pita chips as a snack.
