Salt and ground black pepper  

Cooked skinless chicken breast, optional

  3. Spread half the hummus down the centre of each set of leaves.
  4. Arrange the baby spinach on top of the hummus.  
  5. Layer the sprouts, carrot and beetroot over the hummus on each set of leaves, then top with the sliced tomato and avocado and season with salt and pepper.

  7. Roll the wraps, starting at one of the stem ends and rolling the wrap up lengthwise.

Serves 1-2 | 15 minutes
