Ingredients
- 1 large flour tortilla (10-inch diameter)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
- 2 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 1/2 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cucumber, thinly sliced or julienned
- 2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon capers, drained (optional)
- 1 cup fresh spinach or arugula
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for toasting the wrap)
- Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Make a small cut from the edge of the tortilla to the center (cutting through only one half of the radius).
- Visualize the tortilla as divided into four quarters. Starting with the quarter with the cut line as one of its boundaries, fold this section over the adjacent quarter.
- Continue folding in a clockwise (or counter-clockwise) direction, creating a layered triangular shape.
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the folded wrap seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half if desired, and garnish with additional fresh dill.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative or mashed avocado mixed with lemon and herbs.
- Add a thin layer of scrambled eggs for extra protein and a more substantial breakfast.
- For varied flavor profiles, try incorporating different herbs like chives, basil, or cilantro.
- For meal prep, prepare all ingredients and store them separately, then assemble and heat just before eating.
- The folding technique can be used with many other filling combinations – experiment with your favorite ingredients!
