How to Make This Recipe

In case you've been living under a rock, or perhaps you've just never made a sandwich until now, either way, don't sweat we've got you covered! Here's how to make this bad boy extra amazing.

For this recipe, you're going to need the following:

• Whole grain bread
• Hummus
• Trifecta portobello mushrooms
• Trifecta zucchini
• Roasted red peppers
• Shredded carrots

Tip: Swap out bread for any whole grain wrap or flatbread. Or be extra fancy and make it an open-faced sandwich.

Now that you've got some suitable bread to work with, lather on that hummus nice and tick - put it on both sides, this is the glue that holds it all together. Feel free to get crazy with the hummus too and try different flavors like roasted red pepper, garlic cumin, spicy sriracha, etc. 

Then proceed to cram as many veggies as you can fit onto one slice of bread; just kidding, you don't want to overdo it, as it won't hold together well. Instead, use your fine-tuned Tetris-like skills and purposefully layer the red pepper, mushroom, and zucchini. Then finish with a small handful of shredded carrots for crunch. 

Okay, now go ahead and eat it... after you've Instagram-ed your hard work of course. Don't forget to tag @trifectasystem!
