With the arrival of warmer weather, it's easy to gather family or friends for a picnic in the park or out of town. To ensure a successful picnic, it's important to plan ahead for snacks—delicious, compact, and easy to transport. Furthermore, picnic food should be easy to eat with your hands. Paper plates, foil, plastic containers with tight-fitting lids, and special coolers, which can be equipped with cooling elements, will come in handy.

Sometimes a light snack can be thrown together in minutes—tortilla wraps with ham, hummus, and vegetables are just the thing.

The vegetables add a fresh flavor, and the sriracha sauce adds a touch of spiciness. These wraps are easy to make ahead of time, cut into pieces, and take with you to an outdoor picnic or to the office as a quick snack.
