# Expert Advice:
01 -
- Zero cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and cleanup is almost nothing.
- The crunch of raw vegetables against creamy hummus is the kind of contrast that makes you look forward to lunch.
02 -
- Do not assemble these more than an hour ahead of time because the moisture from the vegetables will turn your tortilla into a damp, sad rectangle.
- A drizzle of sriracha or your favorite hot sauce inside the wrap before rolling takes the flavor from pleasant to genuinely exciting.
03 -
- Pat every vegetable completely dry after washing, because even a little extra moisture is the enemy of a good wrap.
- Spread the hummus all the way to the edges for maximum flavor in every single bite rather than just the center.
