Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 1 tablespoon of hummus evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

To achieve perfectly julienned vegetables, use a sharp knife and vegetable peeler for the carrots to ensure even, crisp pieces. Spreading the hummus evenly helps the filling adhere and adds creamy texture without overpowering the fresh produce. For easier rolling, fold the tortilla sides inward first before rolling from the bottom.
