Grilled Portabello Hummus Wraps

Made with fresh grilled portobello mushrooms, hummus and pickled vegetables, these wraps are bursting with flavor! Perfect for an easy lunch or weeknight dinner! (vegan + gluten-free option)

I recently read that something like half of all people don’t like mushrooms. What the whaaa? Why?!

Mushrooms are awesome!

They’re a good source of protein and antioxidants like selenium which help prevent cell damage, and certain varieties also provide a dose of vitamins B and D making them especially great for vegans and vegetarians.

I personally love the meaty texture and how versatile they are. I’m constantly trying to find new ways to cook with them so I hope that more than half of you like them as much I do! :)

The inspiration for this particular shroom recipe came from our recent trip to Carmel. I ordered something similar while lounging by the pool at Carmel Valley Ranch. I was so impressed with how fresh and tasty they were that I had to recreate them for you!

By the way, I don’t know what it is about drinking cocktails and eating by the pool that inspires me to recreate recipes. The same thing happened with the falafel I had at the Four Seasons in Wailea.

I’m beginning to wonder if it’s the food or the combination of sunshine and booze that leaves a lasting impression on me… either way, I think it means I need to spend less time working and more time eating and drinking by the pool. 

Can someone pass that message on to my husband for me please? K, thanks.

I can tell you that when I recreated these at home, I ate them without any booze (unfortunately) but luckily they were just as delicious as I remembered them tasting by the pool. They’re also easy to make and are perfect to have for healthy lunches on the go.

The marinade for the mushrooms is super simple; we toss them in a combo of olive oil, tamari, and vinegar along with a sliced red pepper for extra veggie power. Then we grill them for less than five minutes on each side until they’re nice and juicy. Mmm…

While those are cooking, spread a little hummus (you can use classic or your favorite flavor) in the middle of the wrap, add a handful of arugula (or your favorite greens) and you’re good to go!

Now I took them a step further by adding quick pickled onions and carrots (inspired by the lovely Kate). If you want to save time, you can always use store-bought pickled vegetables!

Alright peeps, that’s a wrap! <see what I did there? ;)

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!
