# Directions:

01 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 - Arrange spinach or mixed greens, cucumber slices, julienned bell pepper, grated carrot, red onion slices, avocado if using, and tomato slices down the center of each wrap.
04 - Sprinkle with fresh parsley or cilantro, drizzle with lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
05 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a neat wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for later.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes fifteen minutes from cutting board to plate and requires zero cooking whatsoever.
  • The textures play off each other beautifully, creamy hummus against crisp vegetables against tender greens.
  • It is endlessly adaptable based on whatever vegetables are languishing in your crisper drawer.
02 -
  • Do not skip the lemon juice because without it the wrap tastes flat and the vegetables lose their sparkle.
  • Overfilling the wrap is the number one mistake and leads to everything tumbling out when you take a bite.
  • If making ahead, store the sliced vegetables separately and assemble right before eating to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.
03 -
  • Warm the tortilla for ten seconds in a dry skillet before assembling and it will roll without cracking every single time.
  • Spread the hummus all the way to the edge of one side because that exposed edge acts as glue when you roll it shut.
