👩🍳 How to Make It
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat and lightly brush the flatbread with olive oil.

- Cook 2‑3 minutes per side until golden and crispy; serve warm.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions

💡 Chef's Tips & Variations
- Swap the hummus for a roasted red‑pepper or sun‑dried‑tomato spread for an extra punch of flavor.
- Add a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or toasted sesame seeds before rolling for a subtle cheesy, nutty note.
- For a heartier version, layer thinly sliced marinated tofu or tempeh between the veggies.
- If you love a little heat, drizzle a quick sriracha‑lime sauce over the pinwheels just before serving.
