Cucumber & hummus wrap

The perfect 'grab-and-go' lunch where the creaminess of Middle Eastern hummus meets the crunch of fresh vegetables. The secret lies in the layering: hummus not only flavours but acts as 'insulation' protecting the dough from the moisture of the vegetables.

Instructions

1

Warm the tortilla wraps for a few seconds.

Tip: Heat makes starch and fat in the dough pliable.
2

Spread wraps thickly with hummus, but leave 2 cm free at edges.

Tip: Oily hummus forms a hydrophobic (water-repellent) barrier, so vegetable juice doesn't immediately soak the dough.
3

Pile on vegetables, drizzle with little lemon oil, then roll up tightly. Cut in half diagonally.

Tip: Tight rolling compresses ingredients, so it doesn't fall apart while eating.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the tortilla tear when rolling?
Because it is cold and stiff. Warm it slightly in a pan or microwave before rolling so fats inside soften.
