# How-To Steps:
01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Spread approximately 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
02 - 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.
03 - Sprinkle chopped parsley or cilantro over the vegetables and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
04 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla, then roll tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap. Slice diagonally in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for later.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- No heat required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay happy.
- It converts even the most salad skeptical people into vegetable believers.
02 -
- Wet vegetables are the enemy of a good wrap so pat everything dry with a towel before assembling.
- Overfilling is tempting but it guarantees a messy eating experience so show some restraint.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla for 15 seconds in a dry skillet before assembling and it will never crack.
- The best wraps are made with hummus that has been sitting at room temperature for 20 minutes because cold hummus tears the tortilla.
