# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • This is the rare recipe that genuinely takes fifteen minutes from fridge to plate, which saved me on more evenings than I can count.
  • It converts even the most vegetable skeptical people into enthusiastic eaters, mostly because hummus makes everything taste like a treat.
02 -
  • Do not skip the one inch border of hummus free space, or you will end up with more hummus on your hands than inside the wrap.
  • Wet vegetables are the enemy of a good wrap, so pat everything dry with a paper towel before assembling.
03 -
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for twenty seconds per side before assembling, and they become flexible enough to roll without cracking.
  • The best wraps come from slightly overfilling rather than underfilling, so be generous and just roll with confidence.
