# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth. Set aside.
02 - Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave for 10 to 15 seconds to make them pliable.
03 - Lay each tortilla flat and spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of lemon aioli 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.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Zero cooking required means more time relaxing and less time stressed in the kitchen.
  • The lemon aioli tastes fancy but comes together in less than two minutes, making you feel like you actually tried.
  • Everything stays fresh and crunchy for hours, so these travel beautifully to any outdoor adventure.
  • You can prep ingredients the night before and assemble wraps in the morning, giving you a head start on your day.
02 -
  • Assemble these no more than two to three hours before eating unless you want a soggy wrap—the tortilla absorbs moisture from the vegetables over time.
  • Add avocado at the absolute last minute before eating or packing, or watch it oxidize into an unappetizing gray within hours.
03 -
  • Toast your tortillas in a skillet instead of microwaving—it gives them slightly better texture and flavor without the rubbery microwave effect.
  • Make extra aioli because you'll want it on sandwiches, salads, and probably just spooned onto crackers when nobody's looking.
