What to keep in mind.
6 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Don't skip the ice cubes in the hummus — they whip in air for an extra-light, fluffy texture.
- 2Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet to make them pliable and prevent cracking when rolling.
- 3Leave a 2-inch border on both sides of the tortilla when layering fillings for a clean, tight wrap.
- 4Pat the julienned carrot and sliced cucumber dry with a paper towel to avoid a soggy wrap.
- 5If making ahead, store the hummus, dressing, and chopped veggies separately and assemble just before serving.
- 6For an extra flavor boost, toast the cumin powder in a dry pan for 30 seconds before adding to the hummus.
