I adapted this recipe from Weight Watchers 20 Minute Recipes magazine. This is a very simple and easy homemade lunch wrap to prepare, as I always have chickpeas, garlic, fresh lemons, and olive oil in my pantry. This hummus recipe has fewer calories and less fat and salt than store-bought varieties. According to the Weight Watchers’ magazine, there are 5 points per wrap.

How To Warm Tortillas:

Warm the tortillas by wrapping tortillas loosely in waxed paper or a plastic bag and microwave on HIGH (15 seconds for two tortillas, 30 seconds for four tortillas, and 1 minute for eight).

Another way is to place a tortilla on a plate, covered with a damp paper towel. Alternate tortillas with paper towels. Microwave for 30 seconds to one minute, depending on how many tortillas you need.
