# What You Need:

02 - 1 1/2 cups classic hummus, store-bought or homemade
→ Fresh Vegetables
03 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens

13 - Lemon wedges, for serving
# Directions:
01 - Lay each tortilla or flatbread flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Evenly spread approximately 3 to 4 tablespoons of hummus over each wrap, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflowing.
03 - Distribute spinach or mixed greens, shredded carrots, cucumber slices, tomato slices, bell pepper strips, and red onion evenly across each wrap.
04 - Sprinkle fresh herbs, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped Kalamata olives over the vegetables if desired.
05 - Season each wrap with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
06 - Gently roll up each wrap, tucking in the sides to fully enclose the fillings. Slice diagonally in half for easier handling.
07 - Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the wraps.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- Zero cooking means you can throw this together even on your most exhausted day.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of contrast that makes you slow down and actually taste your food.
02 -
- Do not assemble these more than an hour ahead because the tomatoes and cucumbers will release moisture and turn the tortilla gummy.
- Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for twenty seconds per side and they become infinitely more cooperative when rolling.
03 -
- Shred the carrots on the large holes of a box grater at an angle for longer, more elegant strands that tuck into the roll beautifully.
- If your tortillas keep tearing, lay a damp paper towel over them and microwave for fifteen seconds to bring back their flexibility.
