In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Dress the Quinoa Salad
Pour the dressing over the quinoa mixture and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Assemble the Wraps
Warm the tortilla wraps lightly if desired. Spread a tablespoon of dairy-free hummus (optional) on each wrap. Spoon the quinoa salad evenly onto each wrap.
Wrap and Serve
Fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it up tightly. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for later.
