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
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing and drying the tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly.
Step 2
Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 3
Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a clean, flat surface such as a cutting board.
Step 4
Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly over each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when wrapping.
Step 5
Divide the basil leaves evenly among the tortillas, spreading them out over the cream cheese.
Step 6
Layer 3 to 4 tomato slices over the basil on each tortilla, slightly overlapping each slice to cover most of the surface.
Step 7
Drizzle about half a tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the tomato slices on each wrap.
Step 8
Sprinkle each wrap with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 9
Drizzle 1/2 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil over each as well.
Step 10
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.
Step 11
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.
Step 12
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to two days for a quick and convenient meal option.
