Hummus and Avocado Roll-Up Wheels

Lunch or lunchbox · Serves 2 little ones · 10 minutes, no cooking

Some days you just need lunch to happen. Fast.

These little wheels are my go-to. No oven, no hob, and they look so pretty in a lunchbox. Little ones love picking them up and unrolling them (yes, really, ha ha). Let them. It's all exploring.

You Will Need

• 2 soft wholemeal tortilla wraps
• 4 tablespoons hummus (shop-bought is absolutely fine)
• 1⁄2 ripe avocado
• A squeeze of lemon
• 1 small carrot, finely grated
• A small handful of baby spinach, finely shredded
• 30 g grated cheddar or crumbled feta (optional)

On the side: a few fruit pieces on a short blunt stick or just in a little pot, like melon, banana and strawberry.

Let's Make It

1. Mash the avocado with the lemon in a small bowl.
2. Lay a wrap flat. Spread it with half the hummus, right to the edges.
3. Spread half the avocado over the top.
4. Scatter over the carrot, spinach and cheese, leaving a 2 cm gap at the far edge.
5. Roll it up tightly, away from you. The hummus at the end helps it stick.
6. Slice into 2 to 3 cm wheels with a sharp knife.
7. Repeat with the second wrap.

For a lunchbox: pack them snugly side by side so they don't unroll, and add a little ice pack. The avocado is best eaten the same day.

Little Hands Can Help 🙌

• Mash the avocado with a fork. Squishy and satisfying.
• Spread the hummus with a spoon or a blunt butter knife.
• Sprinkle on the carrot "confetti".
• Do the rolling together, your hands over theirs.

Safety Note for Under-3s ⚠️

• Grate the carrot finely. Raw carrot chunks are hard and a choking risk.
• For under-2s, flatten the wrap slices a little or cut them into thin strips, as soft bread can clump in the mouth.
• Fruit sticks are for supervised eating only. Take the stick away for under-3s and offer the fruit pieces cut small.
• Hummus contains sesame (tahini), a common allergen. Only offer it once your child has had sesame safely.
