"I started making this wrap after a period when I was exploring more plant-forward meals. What I discovered is that roasted beets have a sweetness that pairs unexpectedly well with the earthiness of hummus and the tang of balsamic."
"You might find that this becomes one of those meals you actually look forward to. I love how visually beautiful it is — that deep crimson color against the white cheese feels like food that's been made with intention."
🌿 Ingredients
