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, sliced cucumber, julienned bell pepper, grated carrot, red onion, avocado if using, and sliced tomato in the center of each wrap.
04 - Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, drizzle with fresh 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 secure wrap.
06 - Cut each wrap in half on a diagonal and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for later.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- It takes exactly fifteen minutes from fridge to plate, which means you can make it on your most chaotic mornings without breaking a sweat.
- Every bite delivers a different crunch, creaminess, or tang depending on how you layer, so it never gets boring even if you eat it three days in a row.
02 -
- Do not skip the lemon juice, because without it the wrap tastes flat and the hummus dominates every other flavor into silence.
- Pat the cucumber and tomato slices dry with a paper towel before assembling, or you will end up with a soggy tortilla by lunchtime no matter how tightly you roll.
03 -
- Double the vegetables and pre-slice everything on Sunday so your weekday assembly takes under five minutes from refrigerator to finished wrap.
- The best hummus for this recipe is one you make yourself with plenty of lemon and garlic, but a good store-bought tub works perfectly if you stir in a pinch of cumin and a drizzle of olive oil to wake it up.
