13 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

# Steps:
01 - In a small mixing bowl, combine the hummus, fresh lemon juice, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended and smooth.
02 - Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
03 - Divide the seasoned hummus evenly among the tortillas, spreading a generous layer across each one while leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
04 - Distribute the baby spinach, shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion evenly over each tortilla.
05 - Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, fresh parsley, and hot sauce or red pepper flakes if desired.
06 - Fold the left and right sides of each tortilla about 1 inch inward toward the center, then roll up tightly from the bottom to fully enclose the filling.
07 - Cut each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for later.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- This wrap comes together in fifteen minutes flat with zero cooking and maximum crunch.
- The hummus and lemon combination makes everything taste brighter without needing heavy sauces.
02 -
- Do not skip the lemon juice, I did once and the hummus tasted flat and lifeless against all those crisp vegetables.
- Wet vegetables will turn your wrap into a soggy mess, so pat everything dry with a towel before assembling.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla for fifteen seconds in a dry pan and it will never crack on you when rolling.
- The wraps taste best if you let them sit for five minutes after rolling so the hummus slightly softens the tortilla from the inside.
