# How to Make It:
01 - Lay each tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of hummus evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
03 - Arrange spinach or mixed greens down the center of each tortilla. Top with sliced cucumber, julienned bell pepper, grated carrot, sliced red onion, avocado if using, and sliced tomato.
04 - Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the vegetables. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
05 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom upward to form a secure wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for later.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- It takes exactly fifteen minutes from fridge to plate and somehow feels like a real meal, not a sad desk lunch.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of contrast that makes you slow down and actually enjoy eating.
02 -
- Do not skip the lemon juice, because without it the wrap tastes flat and you will wonder what went wrong when nothing did.
- Overfilling is the number one reason wraps fall apart, so resist the urge and trust that the flavors are strong enough to carry a modest portion.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla for ten seconds in a dry skillet before assembling and it will roll without cracking every single time.
- The best wraps are built on a slightly damp paper towel placed under your cutting board so nothing slides around while you work.
