# Expert advice:
01 -
- It takes exactly fifteen minutes from fridge to plate, which is less time than deciding what to order.
- The combination of textures, creamy hummus, crisp vegetables, and tender greens, makes every bite interesting without any cooking required.
02 -
- Overfilling is the most common mistake, so resist the urge to pile everything on at once or the wrap will not close properly.
- Warming the tortilla for ten seconds in a dry skillet makes it pliable enough to roll without tearing.
03 -
- Cooked chickpeas or grilled tofu strips tucked inside will boost the protein enough to keep you full through an afternoon of meetings.
- If you are not keeping it vegan, crumbled feta and a few kalamata olives transform it into something that tastes like a Greek vacation.
