Hot summer days call for easy, portable, make ahead meals, perfect for picnics, road trips, or casual get-togethers. What is the one type of meal that is perfect for those kind of days? Wraps!

Wraps are one of my favourite quick and easy meals to make. Not only are wraps more exciting than a boring old sandwich, there are a million types of wraps that you can make and they are easily customizable – which means that they’re a mom’s best friend! I’m not a fan of making different meals for each member of the family.

Sometimes it’s inevitable (I eat poultry, my husband eats fish, and my son is a vegetarian), but as much as possible we try to sit down to the same meal together. Wraps make that possible, with just slight modifications to the ingredients inside that make each family member happy.

This wrap is easy to throw together and even easier when it’s a make-ahead meal.

Just pre-grill all the vegetables and you’re looking at almost no prep for meal time!

It’s also full of important vitamins (like vitamins A, C, B6), minerals, and antioxidants, and is low in fat.

If you’re looking to add even more protein to this wrap, you could add grilled chicken, but I love this wrap full of yummy grilled vegetables, especially since it means it can stand up to a bit of summer heat without me worrying about the chicken going bad!

While I have made this wrap with store-bought hummus before and it was still good, homemade hummus is delicious, easy to make, and extremely economical, so I suggest you make it at home. My favorite recipes from from Scratch Mommy…a basic recipe or chipotle hummus! Feel free to use any hummus you like.

These wraps taste great with room temperature ingredients, so nothing is too cold or too hot when you eat it. If you like heat, feel free to drizzle on some hot sauce before wrapping it up so it has some kick to it.

Hearty, healthy, and heartwarming, I’m sure you’ll love this simple and delicious eggplant and hummus wrap. One of my favourites that I’m sure will become one of your favourites too!
