03 - Arrange a generous layer of fresh spinach leaves over the hummus on each tortilla.
04 - Distribute the julienned carrot, cucumber strips, sliced bell pepper, and avocado evenly among the wraps.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means your kitchen stays cool and you stay sane on busy days.
  • The colors alone will make you feel like you did something wonderful for yourself before noon.
  • Everything rolls up neatly in parchment, so you can eat one handed while answering emails or walking out the door.
02 -
  • Overfilling is the number one reason wraps fall apart, so resist the urge to pile on extra vegetables no matter how tempting.
  • Patting the cucumber and spinach completely dry after washing prevents the tortilla from becoming gummy and tearing during the roll.
  • If making these more than two hours ahead, leave the avocado out or toss it in extra lemon juice, otherwise you will open a brown disappointing wrap at lunchtime.
03 -
  • Warm your tortilla in a dry skillet for ten seconds before assembling and it will roll like a dream without splitting.
  • Slightly underripe avocado actually works better here because it slices cleanly and holds firm inside the wrap all afternoon.
