02 - Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them pliable.
03 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1-2 tablespoons of lemon aioli evenly over the surface of each tortilla.
04 - Layer spinach, carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, cabbage, avocado, feta if using, and fresh herbs evenly over each tortilla, leaving space at the edges for wrapping.
05 - Fold in the sides and roll up tightly from the bottom to form a wrap.
06 - Slice each wrap in half diagonally. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in parchment paper for transport.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in twenty minutes flat, which means you can make lunch without it feeling like a chore.
  • The lemon aioli transforms plain vegetables into something that tastes indulgent without any actual heavy ingredients.
  • They travel beautifully, so picnics, road trips, and packed lunches suddenly feel less boring.
02 -
  • Moisture is your enemy here; pat your cucumber and spinach dry, and don't add avocado until right before serving unless you enjoy the color of disappointment.
  • The aioli tastes better the next day after everything has had time to meld, but the wrap itself is best eaten the same day to preserve crunch.
03 -
  • Slice your vegetables ahead of time but assemble the wraps close to when you'll eat them; this keeps everything crisp and prevents the avocado from getting that sad brown tinge.
  • If you're transporting these anywhere, pack the aioli separately and spread it right before eating for maximum freshness and crunch.
