06 - 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
07 - 1/2 cup cucumber, sliced into strips
→ Tahini Sauce
08 - 1/4 cup tahini
09 - 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
10 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
11 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
12 - 2 to 3 tablespoons water
13 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
14 - Salt and black pepper to taste
→ Wraps
15 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas
# Method:
01 - In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, salt, and pepper. Gradually add water while whisking until the sauce achieves a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside.
02 - Briefly warm whole wheat tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat or microwave for 30 seconds to increase pliability and prevent cracking during rolling.
03 - Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Layer one quarter of the spinach, black-eyed peas, cooked rice or quinoa, julienned carrot, sliced bell pepper, red onion, and cucumber strips in the center of the tortilla.
04 - Drizzle a generous spoonful of tahini sauce over the assembled ingredients on the tortilla.
05 - Fold in both sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom upward, creating a secure, compact wrap. Maintain tension while rolling to prevent filling from escaping.
06 - Repeat the assembly process with the remaining three tortillas and filling ingredients to create four complete wraps.
07 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for storage and later consumption.
