Hummus, a handful of crisp vegetables and a whole-wheat tortilla: that is lunch in 10 minutes, with no stove. The hummus is both spread and seasoning. Nothing else is needed.
Spread the hummus right to the edges, so every bite has some. Dry the spinach well, because wet leaves make the tortilla soggy within minutes. Keep the fillings thin. Cut the cucumber and pepper into thin sticks and grate the carrot, so the filling is easy to roll and has no large chunks to push through the wrap. Squeeze the lemon over the vegetables, not the hummus. A little paprika adds colour and a gentle smokiness.
Roll tightly from one edge, tucking in the sides as you go. Cut it on the diagonal. Wrap it in baking parchment to hold it together. A wrapped roll keeps well in a lunch box for a day, and a large lettuce leaf makes a good swap for the tortilla if you want something lighter.
