# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Fifteen minutes from cutting board to plate, which is faster than arguing about what to order for delivery.
  • Every bite hits creamy, crunchy, bright, and herbaceous all at once, making you wonder why you ever settled for sad desk lunches.
02 -
  • Do not skip the border when spreading hummus, because a too generous spread to the edge guarantees a messy blowout when you roll.
  • Pat your sliced tomatoes and cucumbers dry with a paper towel before assembling, since excess moisture is the number one enemy of a wrap that holds together.
03 -
  • Build your wraps on a sheet of parchment paper and use it to help guide the roll, which keeps your hands clean and makes wrapping easier.
  • Layer greens directly against the hummus to create a seal that prevents the tortilla from getting soggy, a trick I learned from a deli cook who made hundreds of these daily.
