Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large whole wheat tortillas
- 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/4 cup feta cheese
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: large whole wheat tortillas, fresh spinach leaves, sliced strawberries, feta cheese, chopped walnuts, and balsamic vinaigrette.
- Rinse the fresh spinach leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess moisture.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the green tops and slice them into thin pieces. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the chopped walnuts and feta cheese. This will create a flavorful mixture to add to your wrap.
- Lay one whole wheat tortilla flat on a clean surface or cutting board. Place 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves in the center of the tortilla.
- Evenly distribute half of the sliced strawberries over the spinach leaves on the tortilla.
- Sprinkle half of the walnut and feta mixture over the strawberries.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinaigrette over the filling, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- To wrap the tortilla, fold the sides inwards over the filling, then roll the tortilla from the bottom up to encase all the ingredients. Make sure to roll tightly but gently to avoid tearing the tortilla.
- Repeat the wrapping process with the second tortilla and remaining ingredients.
- Once both wraps are complete, you can cut them in half diagonally for easier handling or serve them whole.
- Serve the wraps immediately, or if desired, you can wrap them in parchment paper or foil for a portable meal option.
Tips
- Moisture is Key: Make sure to thoroughly dry your spinach leaves after washing to prevent a soggy wrap.
- Room Temperature Matters: Let your ingredients sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before assembling to enhance flavors.
- Wrap Technique: When rolling, fold the sides in first to prevent ingredients from falling out, then roll from bottom to top with gentle but firm pressure.
- Freshness First: Use the freshest ingredients possible – crisp spinach and ripe strawberries make all the difference.
- Customization Hack: Feel free to swap walnuts for almonds or try different types of cheese to make the recipe your own.
- Make-Ahead Tip: You can prepare the ingredients in advance and assemble the wraps just before serving to maintain optimal texture.
- Serving Suggestion: Serve with a side of extra balsamic vinaigrette for dipping or drizzling.
