# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Zero cooking required which means you can assemble these even on the hottest summer afternoon without breaking a sweat.
- The crunch of fresh vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of texture contrast that makes you slow down and actually taste what youre eating.
02 -
- Dry your sliced vegetables thoroughly on a clean towel before assembling because excess moisture is the number one enemy of a good wrap.
- If you are making these ahead for lunch do not add the lemon juice or salt until right before eating or the greens will wilt into sadness.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla for fifteen seconds in a dry skillet before assembling and it becomes pliable enough to roll without cracking.
- The secret to a wrap that holds together is spreading hummus all the way to the edge on the final roll side so it acts like edible glue.
