NOTE from Pat - Local restaurants serve a similar wrap that is essentially
a tomato and cucumber sandwich. The humus makes it addictive as does the
flavored tortilla, also made locally: flour tortillas red with tomato,
orange with carrot, or green with spinach or artichoke.
Variation: Wrap spread with citrusy humus from chickpeas, layered with
lettuce, tomato, and cucumber wrapped in a warm tortilla and served with a
fresh salsa of tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, garlic, onions, cilantro, salt
and pepper: salsa ranchera.
