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.
