# Expert Tips:
01 -
- No cooking required, which means you can assemble these while barely awake and still end up with something gorgeous.
- The crunch from the raw vegetables paired with creamy hummus and avocado hits every texture craving at once.
02 -
- Overfilling is the number one reason wraps fall apart, so resist the urge to pile on more than the tortilla can comfortably hold.
- Patting wet vegetables dry with a paper towel before assembling prevents the tortilla from getting soggy before lunchtime.
03 -
- Warm the tortilla for ten seconds in a dry skillet before assembling to make it pliable and far less likely to crack along the fold lines.
- Build all four wraps at once in an assembly line rather than one at a time because the repetition makes the process faster and more consistent.
