FAQs
Can I prepare the wraps in advance?
Yes, you can assemble the wraps the night before and keep them refrigerated. However, to prevent sogginess, it’s best to keep wet ingredients separate until serving if possible.
Can I use other spreads instead of hummus?
Absolutely! Cream cheese, avocado spread, or tzatziki are great alternatives that pair well with the vegetables in this wrap.
