Easy Fusion Nori Veggie Wraps

Makes 3 wraps (serves 2)

3 Nori seaweed sheets (same used for sushi)
1/2 cup hummus
1 1/2 Tbsp. hoisin sauce
a few handfuls of fresh spinach
1/2 cup red cabbage, thinly sliced and chopped
1/2 large carrot, peeled
1/2 avocado, pitted and sliced
small handful of cilantro, chopped

--Notes-- Feel free to add or substitute any additional fresh veggies you like!

First, collect and prep all the veggies and the cilantro.

Then, lay one sheet of nori in a landscape position, so the shiny side is down and put a dollop of hummus on the side closest to you. Spread it from left to right, so it's even, then spread about 1/2 Tbsp. of hoisin sauce over the hummus. Next, spread a tiny bit on the opposite side. This will help the wrap stay rolled up.

Place your desired amount of spinach on top of the hummus, followed by portions of the remaining ingredients. Be sure not to pile it on too much or the wrap could break when it's rolled. I've never, ever done this... Now, roll it up away from you and voila! You have yourself a nori wrap.
