Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.

  2. Lay the tortillas flat and spread about half of the hummus evenly over them, leaving a small border.

  3. Place the mozzarella slices down the center of each tortilla, then lay the prosciutto slices over the cheese.

  4. Set the filled tortillas on the baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes, until the cheese melts and the prosciutto is warmed through.

  5. Meanwhile, slice the tomatoes and tear the lettuce, keeping half the lettuce aside. Slice the avocado, keeping half aside.

  6. Remove the wraps from the oven and top each one with tomato slices, half the torn lettuce, and half the avocado slices.

  7. Dollop the remaining hummus over the filling, then add the reserved lettuce and avocado so each wrap gets an equal share.

  8. Fold in the sides of each tortilla, roll it up tightly from the bottom, and cut in half on a diagonal to serve.
