Derctions:
Decide how many rolls
you would like to make, prepare the appropriate amount of ingredients, and have
them ready on the counter. To assemble each roll, spread the rice or hummus,
depending on which version you're making, across the bottom third of the
tortilla, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) margin that is free of ingredients on the
side nearest you and along the right edge. Place the remaining ingredients on
top of the rice or hummus. Lift the right edge of the tortilla and fold it
toward the centre. Take the edge nearest you and proceed to snugly roll the
tortilla toward the centre and continue rolling until you have reached the top
of the tortilla and have a roll in your hands.
