12 - 2 to 3 tablespoons water
13 - 0.25 teaspoon ground cumin
14 - Salt and black pepper to taste
→ Wraps
15 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas
# Preparation Steps:
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 reaches a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside.
02 - Warm the whole wheat tortillas briefly in a dry skillet over medium heat or in the microwave for 20 seconds to increase pliability and prevent cracking.
03 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Layer one quarter of the spinach, black-eyed peas, 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.
05 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla toward the center, then roll it up tightly from the bottom to form a compact wrap, ensuring all fillings remain secure.
06 - Repeat the assembly, sauce application, and rolling process with the remaining three tortillas and filling components.
07 - Slice each wrap diagonally in half and serve immediately, or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for later consumption.
