Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Overstuffing thee Wrap

Wet vegetables not only make e te wrop soggy but also cause tortilla toro tear and, filing tso slide out excess.
Skipping thee Hummus Border
Won spreading hummus, always leave a half-inc border around thee edges. If you spread hummus all the way to thee edge, it wil squeeze out when you roll the wrap, making a mess and reducing the flavor in each bite. That clean border also helps the wrap seol seal wheadly when rolled.
Using Cold, Stiff Tortillas
Tortillas ealt from the reccator are stiff and prone to cracking when rolledd. Always let tem tem com room temperature for at leatt ten minutes before using. If you 're in a hurry, yu can warm them slightly by plating them between damp paper towels and microwaving for 10-15 secons. This mases them pliable and much easieiear to work with.
Cutting Too Soon
After rolling your wrap, odpor te urge to it it immediately. Let it rett sff- side down for at leatt a minute. This allows thee hummus to so set slightly and helps seal the wrap.
