Ingredients Method Notes

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
  • ½ ripe avocado thinly sliced
  • ¼ 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

Method
 

  1. Make a small cut from the edge of the tortilla to the center (cutting through only one half of the radius).
  2. 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.
  3. Continue folding in a clockwise (or counter-clockwise) direction, creating a layered triangular shape.
  4. 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.
  5. Flip carefully and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
  6. Transfer to a cutting board, cut in half if desired, and garnish with additional fresh dill.
  7. 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!
