# What You'll Need:

→ Wraps & Spreads

01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas or wraps
02 - 1 cup hummus, store-bought or homemade

→ Vegetables

03 - 2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
04 - 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
05 - 1 medium carrot, julienned

10 - Fresh lemon wedges, for serving

# Directions:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Spread 1/4 cup of hummus evenly over the center of the tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Arrange 1/2 cup spinach, cucumber slices, julienned carrot, bell pepper strips, and avocado slices over the hummus layer.
04 - Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
05 - Roll up the tortilla tightly, folding in the sides to secure the filling, then slice in half diagonally.
06 - Repeat the layering and rolling process with the remaining tortillas and fillings.
07 - Serve immediately with a wedge of fresh lemon for an extra bright finish.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • Zero cooking required, which means you can assemble these half asleep and still feel like you treated yourself.
  • The crunch from the raw vegetables against the creamy hummus is the kind of texture contrast that makes you slow down and actually enjoy a weekday lunch.
02 -
  • Do not skip the one inch border when spreading hummus or you will end up with filling spilling out both ends like a sandwich that gave up on life.
  • Assemble these no more than thirty minutes before eating because the cucumber and avocado release moisture that will soften the tortilla over time.
03 -
  • Warm the tortilla in a dry skillet for twenty seconds before assembling and it becomes pliable enough to roll without cracking.
  • The tightest wraps come from folding the sides in first and rolling toward yourself while pressing firmly, a trick I learned from a food truck cook who made it look effortless.
