How to make Quinoa, Spinach & Hummus Egg White Wraps
The method of creating these wraps is straightforward, combining cooking and assembly steps that anyone can master. You’ll start with cooking the quinoa, preparing your egg white wraps, and finally assembling everything together with fresh veggies and hummus for a burst of flavor.
Ingredients
Gathering the ingredients for the wraps is simple. Here’s what you will need:
- 0.50 cup quinoa
- 1.00 cup egg whites
- 0.13 tsp salt
- 0.13 tsp fresh chives
- 0.25 cup finely chopped baby spinach
- 2.00 cups flat leaf parsley leaves
- 1.00 cup hummus
- 2.00 tbsp beefsteak tomatoes
- 1.00 whole tomato, thinly sliced
- Nonstick cooking spray
Feel free to substitute the parsley with herbs you prefer or the hummus flavor based on your taste!
Directions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- In a bowl, whisk together the egg whites, salt, and chopped chives.
- Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and lightly coat it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Pour half the egg mixture into the skillet, swirling it to evenly coat the bottom. Cook until the bottom is just set and the top is slightly moist, approximately 3–4 minutes. Carefully flip the wrap and cook for an additional 10 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining egg mixture.
- In a food processor, combine the baby spinach and parsley leaves. Pulse until finely chopped, then fold into the cooked quinoa.
- To assemble, lay each egg wrap flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous tablespoon of hummus over half of each wrap. Spoon half the quinoa mixture over the hummus, pressing gently to adhere. Top with slices of tomato.
- Fold the wraps in half over the filling, then fold once more to create a quarter-fold.
