Ingredients

  • 100 g couscous
  • 120 ml vegetable stock (½ stock cube and boiling water)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon chilli flakes (optional)
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 6 black olives (pitted)
  • ¼ cucumber (cubed)
  • 2 spring onions (finely chopped)
  • 1 large carrot (grated)
  • 5 sundried tomatoes (or sunblush tomatoes, chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons mango chutney (or sweet chilli sauce)
  • small handful fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 12 tablespoons hummus
  • 90 g salad leaves
  • 4 teaspoons sriracha

Instructions

  • First make the couscous. Add the couscous to a large mixing bowl, crumble in the half stock cube, add the dried herbs, season with salt and pepper then add the boiling water (or make the stock up before adding) and stir in well.
  • Cover with a clean teatowel to plump up while you chop and grate the vegetables.
  • Once the couscous is ready, add the olives, spring onions, cucumber, sundried tomatoes, a handful of the grated carrot and mix well.
  • Add the mango chutney and fresh parsley and mix well.
  • Now make the wraps (you can have the coucous in the fridge and make up a fresh wrap each morning, instead of making them all at once).
  • Spread 3 tablespoons of hummus on wrap above the centre, leaving a border.
  • Top with a generous layer of couscous, then add a handful of salad leaves.
  • Drizzle with sriracha hot sauce, them wrap firmly.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

These wraps are best made on the day you are serving them.
To save time, make the couscous ahead and keep in an airtight container in the fridge, then you can make your wrap really quickly in the morning.
The couscous will keep for 4-5 days in the fridge.
If you are taking the wrap to school or work, the safest way of securing it is to wrap it firmly in foil or a wax sandwich wrapper.
