Wrap tightly in parchment paper or foil for easy transport.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Use a sharp knife and a cutting board to create clean, even slices of vegetables that layer nicely when wrapped. A vegetable peeler helps julienne the carrot quickly. Spread hummus evenly using a spoon or spatula for the best flavor balance.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Swap hummus for cream cheese or a dairy-free spread if you prefer. For extra protein, add grilled chicken or tofu. To accommodate gluten-free diets, use gluten-free tortillas instead of whole wheat.
