Ingredients
1 sweet bell pepper, red or yellow
1/2 large English cucumber
1 large carrot
4 large 10-in. flour tortillas, or 8 small 7-in. flour tortillas
250-mL container hummus, about 1 cup
250-mL container tabbouleh, about 1 cup
1 cup grated cheddar, Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese
2 cups shredded romaine lettuce, or spinach
Instructions
Seed and very thinly slice pepper. Grate cucumber, then, using your hands, squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Grate carrot.
Lay tortillas flat on a counter. Thinly spread with hummus, leaving a 1/2-inch (1-cm) border around edges. Place pepper slices in a line across bottom of tortillas, leaving a 1-inch (2.5-cm) border at bottom. Spoon tabbouleh salad alongside peppers, then place carrots, cucumber, cheese and lettuce so they form stripes across tortilla leaving a 1-inch (2.5-cm) border at sides and a 3-inch (7.5-cm) border at top. Roll up tortillas tightly, jelly-roll style.
If serving right away, slice in half diagonally. Or, lay each roll on a piece of waxed paper, about 12 inches (30 cm) long. Roll up and twist ends party-cracker style. Refrigerate for up to 1 day.
