Step-by-Step Instructions

Cook the Vegetables:

Cook the Eggs:

Assemble the Wraps:

  1. Warm the Tortillas: Place the tortillas on a dry skillet or microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm them up.
  2. Spread the Hummus: Spread a thin layer of hummus (or your preferred spread) in the center of each tortilla.
  3. Layer the Ingredients: Add the cooked veggies and scrambled eggs on top of the spread. Sprinkle with cheese and halal sausage if desired.
  4. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla inward and roll it up tightly to secure the filling.
