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.
