FAQs
Are tortillas vegan?
Not all! Some are made with lard. Always check the label or try homemade vegan tortillas.
Can I make these ahead?
Yes! Store components separately and wrap just before eating. Wrapped rolls can last a few hours in a lunchbox.
Can I use other dressings?
Absolutely. Tahini is classic, but any vegan dressing works well here.
How can I reduce sodium?
Use low-sodium canned beans or cook chickpeas from scratch, and adjust the salt/dressing amounts.
Can I warm the wrap?
Yes. Microwave the tortilla with a damp paper towel for 15–20 seconds to make it easier to roll.
