How to Make Rainbow Lavash Wraps
One of our favorite ways to make food beautiful is by pulling inspiration from one of Planet Earth’s most spectacular phenomena: rainbows.
Step 1: Spread the Hummus – Lay the lavash flat on a clean surface and spread the hummus evenly from edge to edge.
Step 2: Add the Rainbow Veggies – Arrange the vegetables in colorful rows over the hummus, starting with red, then orange, yellow, green, and purple. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds if you’d like.
Finally, Step 3: Fold and Serve – Fold the sides of the lavash over the veggies to make a wrap, or trim the edges and serve it open-faced with twine for a fun presentation. Finish with a drizzle of tahini or lemon garlic tahini dressing if desired.

FAQs
Lavash is a soft, thin flatbread that is perfect for making wraps because it’s flexible and easy to roll without tearing. It has a mild flavor that pairs well with just about any filling, from fresh veggies and hummus to sandwiches and savory spreads. You can usually find it in the bakery, deli, or bread aisle at most grocery stores.
Rainbow wraps will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days when wrapped tightly or stored in an airtight container. For the best texture, keep very watery vegetables dry before assembling, as extra moisture can make the lavash soft over time. If you’re making them ahead, they’re best enjoyed within 24 hours for the freshest flavor and crunch.
Freezing isn’t recommended because the fresh vegetables will lose their crisp texture and release water as they thaw, making the wraps soggy. For the best flavor and texture, enjoy them fresh or within a couple of days of refrigerating.
You sure can! Simply choose your favorite gluten-free wrap of choice such as gluten-free pita bread (this one from Bfree is great!), coconut wrap, almond or casava wrap (like these tortillas from Siete), or a rice paper wrap (as in these vegan spring rolls).

Rainbow Wraps With Veggies & Hummus
Ingredients
- 1 lavash flatbread, or large tortilla
- ¼ cup hummus
- 1 small handful red veggies, like sliced mini red bell pepper
- 1 small handful orange veggies, like shredded carrots
- 1 small handful yellow veggies, like canned corn
- 1 small handful green veggies, like sliced avocado, sprouts, and cucumber
- 1 small handful purple veggies, like shredded purple cabbage
- 1 pinch black sesame seeds, (optional)
Instructions
- Place one sheet of lavash on a flat surface. Using a butter knife, spread the hummus evenly on the lavash.
- Sprinkle your veggies on top of the hummus in the following order: red (top), orange, yellow, green, purple (bottom). Sprinkle with black sesame seeds (optional).
- Close both sides of the lavash around the veggie-filled center and enjoy as you work your way through the rainbow. Alternately, trim each side of the lavash with a knife, tie twine in two spots on the lavash (as pictured), and enjoy as an open-faced wrap (taco-style).
- If desired, drizzle your vegan wrap with tahini (or a lemon-garlic-tahini dressing). Totally optional, but can be a nice extra touch!
Notes
- Storage Tips – Rainbow wraps will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days when wrapped tightly or stored in an airtight container. For the best texture, keep very watery vegetables dry before assembling, as extra moisture can make the lavash soft over time. If you’re making them ahead, they’re best enjoyed within 24 hours for the freshest flavor and crunch.
- Gluten-Free Options – Choose your favorite gluten-free wrap of choice such as gluten-free pita bread (this one from Bfree is great!), these tortillas from Siete), or a rice paper wrap.

The easiest and yummiest quick dinner recipes!
You can’t beat hummus and veggies for a filling and protein-packed lunch or dinner!
These look amazing, I’ve never had an lavash wrap so I definitely want to try this one out!
WOW this looks absolutely amazing! My eyes and tastebuds are lighting up right now!!!
This is such a perfect recipe. Its colorful, healthy and so easy.
A great way to use a variety of veggies in one beautiful and delicious dish.
Oh, how I love this recipe! Super colorful, loads of flavor and tons of texture. Michelle is so right when she writes that we eat with our eyes first. The brightness and cheerfulness of this wrap just makes me smile so much! Instead of the green spinach, I sometimes add slices sugar snap peas or little broccoli florets. The hummus truly gives this crispy salad a lovely, moist component that it needs to be perfect. I could eat this every day!
Wraps are a lunchtime staple, and the more colors you add in, the more nutrients there are—AND it’s more delicious! I’m a little obsessed with rainbow food recipes. I love that there are many rainbow recipes at World of Vegan.
You really can’t go wrong with these rainbow lavash wraps! Simple, colorful, flavorful, and so easy to customize! I’m a big fan of roasted red bell peppers rather than raw.
