Senior caregiving can be demanding and after a long day's work of caregiving, it is important to "take care of the caregiver".

This recipe delivers a healthy twist on hummus.

Caregiverlist Recipe-of-the-Week:  hummus and Monterey Jack Wraps

1 1/2 Cups Prepared Hummus

4 Large Flour Tortillas (at least 12-inch diameter)

1 Cup Shredded Reduced-Fat Pepper Monterey Jack Cheese

1 Cup Chopped Red Bell Pepper

1 Cup Shredded Carrots

3 Baby Cucumbers, Thinly Sliced

2 Scallions (White and Green Parts), Chopped

2 Tomatoes, Thinly Sliced

2 Cups Shredded Romaine Lettuce

Directions:  For each wrap, spread hummus over the top 2/3rd of tortilla. Layer on cheese, peppers, carrots, cucumbers, scallions, tomatoes and lettuce in a row in the center.

Compress filling slightly and then fold the bottom of the tortilla over the filling. Fold in about 1 inch of the sides and roll firmly away from you, compressing the filling as you roll.

Cut each wrap in half on a diagonal.

Tip:  If you can't find baby cucumbers, use 1/3rd of a peeled English cucumber.
