Spread hummus evenly over each tortilla.

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Roll tightly from one edge, then slice each roll into 3–4 bite-size pieces.

Notes
-
Use soft tortillas: If your tortillas crack, warm them in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften before rolling.
-
Dry your veggies: Pat sliced vegetables dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy roll ups.
-
Add protein: Try adding slices of grilled chicken, turkey, or even a smear of cream cheese for extra richness.
-
Mix up the hummus: Roasted red pepper or garlic hummus can change the flavor profile beautifully.
-
Make them ahead: Roll them up the night before, wrap tightly, and store in the fridge. Slice just before serving.
-
Dip it good: Pair with Greek yogurt dip or tzatziki for a creamy finish.
