Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large ripe tomatoes
- 4 pieces whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly.
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean, flat surface such as a cutting board.
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when wrapping.
Divide the basil leaves evenly among the tortillas, spreading them out over the cream cheese.
Layer 3 to 4 tomato slices over the basil on each tortilla, slightly overlapping each slice to cover most of the surface.
Drizzle about half a tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the tomato slices on each wrap.
Sprinkle each wrap with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over each as well.
Beginning from one edge, carefully roll each tortilla snugly to form a wrap. Ensure that the filling is evenly distributed and not spilling out from the sides.
Once wrapped, use a sharp knife to cut each wrap in half on a diagonal. If serving later, wrap each in parchment or plastic wrap to maintain freshness.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days for a quick and convenient meal option.
