Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make 5-Minute Veggie Coconut Wraps. Each ingredient adds to the creamy, spicy, and crunchy magic.
- Coconut Wraps (5, turmeric flavor recommended, e.g., NUCO brand): Provide a flexible, gluten-free, slightly spiced base.
- Hummus (⅔ cup, store-bought, e.g., King Harvest brand): Adds creamy, savory richness.
- Green Curry Paste (7½ Tbsp, fresh or store-bought): Brings bold, spicy flavor.
- Red Bell Pepper (1, thinly sliced): Offers sweet, vibrant crunch.
- Fresh Cilantro (1 cup, ~1 large bundle): Infuses vibrant, herbaceous freshness.
- Shredded Carrots (1½ cups): Provide sweet, crunchy texture.
- Avocado (1, ripe, sliced): Adds creamy, buttery richness.
- Kale (2½ cups, chopped): Offers hearty, nutrient-packed crunch.
Substitutions and Variations
- Coconut Wraps: Swap with collard leaves, lettuce wraps, or keto-friendly tortillas (e.g., almond flour-based) for keto (~3–4g net carbs per serving).
- Hummus: Replace with mashed avocado, tahini, or vegan cream cheese for variety.
- Green Curry Paste: Use red curry paste, sriracha, or harissa for different spice profiles.
- Red Bell Pepper: Swap with yellow bell pepper, cucumber, or zucchini for similar crunch.
- Kale: Replace with spinach, arugula, or romaine for lighter greens.
- Keto Adjustment: Use keto tortillas, reduce carrots to ½ cup, and limit hummus to ⅓ cup (~3–4g net carbs per serving).
- Spicy Version: Increase curry paste to 2 Tbsp per wrap or add a pinch of red-pepper flakes.
- Protein-Packed: Add ½ cup chickpeas, grilled tofu, or shredded chicken (non-vegan) per wrap.
- Mediterranean Twist: Swap curry paste for olive tapenade and add feta (non-vegan) or olives.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Wrap
- Lay 1 turmeric coconut wrap on a clean surface or cutting board.
- Spread 2 Tbsp (~32 g) hummus and 1½ Tbsp (~22 g) green curry paste on the end of the wrap closest to you.
Tip: Spread fillings thinly and evenly to avoid tearing the wrap; leave a small border for easy rolling.
Step 2: Add Fillings
- Add a portion of 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, 1½ cups shredded carrots, 1 sliced avocado, 2½ cups chopped kale, and 1 cup cilantro, dividing evenly among the 5 wraps.
- Arrange fillings in a line on the hummus-curry paste layer.
Tip: Slice vegetables thinly and chop kale finely for easier rolling; don’t overfill to prevent splitting.
Step 3: Roll and Serve
- Roll the wrap tightly away from you, tucking in the fillings as you go.
- Place seam-side down on a serving platter.
- Repeat for the remaining 4 wraps.
- Serve immediately.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to cut wraps in half for easier eating; secure with a toothpick if needed.
