🌀 3-Minute Assembly Game Plan
- Warm the wrap 10 seconds in the microwave—makes rolling way easier.
- Spread hummus edge to edge. Edges lonely? They crack.
- Layer turkey down the center. Keep it single-file so the wrap closes clean.
- Pile on spinach + carrots like you mean it. More veggies, more victory.
- Optional extras on top. I’m partial to a tiny feta snowfall.
- Wrap & roll: Fold sides inward, roll from the bottom, tuck as you go. You just made burrito origami—congrats!
- Slice on the diagonal (fancy points) or keep whole if you hate crumbs.
Rinse the knife now; dried hummus is basically culinary cement. 🙂
🎨 Remix Ideas
- Mediterranean Mood: Swap spinach for arugula, add sliced cucumber + olive tapenade.
- Spicy Kick: Use chipotle hummus and a sriracha zigzag—mouth on vacation, eyes maybe watering.
- Veggie-Only Vibes: Skip turkey, double the hummus, toss in roasted peppers. Still protein-packed, still awesome.
- Breakfast Edition: Scramble an egg, add instead of turkey, boom—morning wrap wins.
💪 Health Perks (Zero Boring Science Talk)
