Fresh wraps are great to make for lunch or take to the beach/picnic over the summer. For me, a great wrap contains some type of spread. My favorite spread is hummus, and this recipe for Chipotle Hummus was my version of a great spicy home-made hummus. A chipotle is a smoke-dried jalapeno chilli used primarily in Mexican-inspired cuisine and adobo sauce is a spice dark-red sauce or paste made from ground chiles, spices, herbs, and vinegar. So if you like a spicy savory kick, this wrap is perfect! I’ve made it several times when I’m in the mood for something spicy, refreshing, and filling. The spicy hummus mixed with fresh veggies makes for a great combination.
