Here in Arizona, the arrival of monsoon season and its dramatic haboobs signals a shift in our daily routine. After months of relentless sunshine, even the slightest cloud formation or distant rumble of thunder sends a buzz of excitement through the community. We eagerly anticipate the refreshing, albeit sometimes chaotic, downpours that break the desert heat. This year, the weather has been particularly dynamic, creating a memorable backdrop for everyday errands and inspiring creative, comforting meals.

Just the other day, during one of my routine trips to Walmart for groceries, I experienced a classic Arizona weather moment. The sun was shining brightly as I entered the store, but as I reached for my pantry staples – a selection of Bush’s Beans – I heard an unmistakable sound. It was the deep rumble that could easily be mistaken for a freight train, a sound I’ve learned to associate with a heavy downpour outside. Despite the lack of train tracks anywhere near, I knew exactly what it meant. Fortunately, the storm had tapered to a light rain by the time I exited, allowing me to make it to my car without getting drenched. Moments like these remind me of the little adventures life throws our way, often leading to moments of culinary inspiration.
Why You’ll Love These Taco Hummus Wraps
These Taco Hummus Wraps are a game-changer for anyone looking for a quick, healthy, and exceptionally tasty meal. They’re perfect for busy weeknights, meal prep, or simply when you want something fresh and satisfying. The star of this recipe is undoubtedly the homemade taco hummus, a creamy, spiced delight that serves as a fantastic foundation for all your favorite wrap fillings. Using quality ingredients like Bush’s Beans not only ensures great flavor but also provides a robust nutritional profile, making these wraps a guilt-free indulgence.
The Versatility of Homemade Hummus
Creating your own hummus from scratch is incredibly rewarding. Not only is it generally more affordable than store-bought versions, but it also allows you to control every ingredient, ensuring a fresh, wholesome product free from artificial additives. For these wraps, I specifically chose my homemade taco seasoning, which adds an authentic, customizable kick to the hummus. The blend of spices transforms ordinary chickpeas into an extraordinary spread, perfect for bringing a taco-inspired flavor to your wraps.
Hummus isn’t just for dipping! It’s a remarkably versatile ingredient that can elevate many dishes. Beyond these wraps, you can enjoy it as a hearty snack with crisp vegetables like cucumber and red pepper slices, spread it on sandwiches, or even use it as a base for salad dressings. I often find myself making a batch and discovering new ways to incorporate it into meals throughout the week. If you’re looking for more hummus variations, my Roasted Garlic Hummus is always a hit and disappears almost as soon as I make it. And for those who love a unique flavor profile, my Dill Pickle Hummus is truly addicting – it tastes just like dill pickles and is a must-try for any pickle enthusiast!
Bush’s Beans: A Cornerstone of Healthy Eating
My pantry is always stocked with an assortment of Bush’s Beans. They’ve become an indispensable part of our family’s meal planning, especially since my daughter embraced a vegetarian lifestyle. Beans are an excellent and affordable source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making them a fantastic addition to almost any meal. From hearty chilis and vibrant salads to wholesome wraps and even unique snacks, the possibilities are endless.
For these Taco Hummus Wraps, we utilize both garbanzo beans (chickpeas) for the hummus and Bush’s Seasoned Recipe Black Beans for the filling. This combination not only enhances the flavor and texture of the wraps but also significantly boosts their nutritional value. Black beans, in particular, contribute to a sense of fullness and provide a rich, earthy flavor that complements the taco seasoning beautifully. Bush’s Beans make it incredibly easy to add healthy, flavorful ingredients to your dishes without extra fuss, which is why they’re a true pantry hero in our kitchen.
Ideas for Customizing Your Taco Hummus Wraps
One of the best things about these wraps is how adaptable they are. While the recipe provides a fantastic starting point, feel free to get creative with your toppings! Here are some suggestions to inspire you:
- Veggies: Add sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, corn, sliced avocado or guacamole, pickled jalapeños, or even some finely chopped cucumber for extra crunch.
- Greens: Besides baby spinach, try shredded lettuce, arugula, or mixed greens.
- Cheese: Experiment with different shredded cheeses like cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a spicy pepper jack for an extra kick. For a dairy-free option, use vegan shredded cheese or nutritional yeast.
- Sauces: Drizzle with a little hot sauce, a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream (or a vegan alternative), a squeeze of lime, or a sprinkle of fresh salsa.
- Proteins: If you’re not strictly vegetarian, you could add grilled chicken or seasoned ground beef alongside the beans. For more plant-based protein, consider adding crumbled baked tofu or tempeh.
- Grains: A small amount of cooked quinoa or brown rice can add more substance and fiber to your wraps.
The beauty of these wraps is that they cater to various tastes and dietary needs, making them a perfect choice for family meals or entertaining.
Easy Meal Prep and Storage Tips
These Taco Hummus Wraps are also fantastic for meal prepping. You can make the taco hummus ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days. The prepared black beans can also be stored separately. When you’re ready to eat, simply assemble the wraps fresh. This makes healthy eating incredibly convenient, whether you’re packing lunches for work or school, or need a quick dinner after a busy day.
If you plan to store fully assembled wraps, it’s best to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days of assembly to maintain the freshness of the vegetables and tortillas. Avoid adding extremely wet ingredients too far in advance, as they can make the tortilla soggy.

Taco Hummus Wraps
Ingredients
For the Taco Hummus
- 1 15- ounce can of Bush’s Garbanzo Beans (chickpeas) drained (reserve water), and rinsed
- 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3-5 tablespoons reserved chickpea water
For Assembly (per wrap)
- 1 large tortilla or flatbread
- ¼ cup baby spinach
- 2-3 tomato slices thinly sliced
- 1-2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
- 2 tablespoons Bush’s Seasoned Recipe Black Beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon Mexican-style shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon freshly chopped cilantro
Instructions
Making the Taco Hummus
-
Combine all of the hummus ingredients, starting with three tablespoons of the reserved chickpea water, into a blender or food processor.
-
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined. If a creamier consistency is desired, gradually add the remaining chickpea water, one tablespoon at a time, until the ideal texture is achieved. Be careful not to make the hummus too runny.
Assembling Your Wraps
-
On one end of a tortilla or flatbread, spread two tablespoons of the prepared taco hummus. Spread an additional tablespoon of hummus on the opposite end; this will help seal the wrap and prevent it from unrolling.
-
Layer a few fresh spinach leaves over the hummus. Then, add a few slices of tomato and some thinly sliced red onion.
-
Evenly distribute two tablespoons of the drained and rinsed black beans over the vegetables.
-
Finish by sprinkling one tablespoon of Mexican-style shredded cheese and some freshly chopped cilantro over the fillings.
To Wrap and Enjoy
-
Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla slightly over the ingredients. Then, starting from the end with the main filling, tightly roll the tortilla towards the opposite end until completely sealed. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and flavorful Taco Hummus Wrap!
