# Ingredient List:

→ Wraps

01 - 4 large whole wheat tortillas

→ Vegetables & Fruit

02 - 4 cups baby spinach, washed and dried
03 - 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
04 - 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

06 - 1/2 cup goat cheese, crumbled
07 - 1/4 cup roasted pecans or walnuts, roughly chopped

10 - Freshly ground black pepper to taste
11 - Pinch of sea salt

# Steps:

01 - Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface.
02 - Evenly distribute 1 cup of baby spinach on each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
03 - Distribute sliced strawberries, cucumber, and red onion evenly among the wraps.
04 - Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and chopped pecans or walnuts over the vegetable mixture.
05 - Drizzle with balsamic glaze and olive oil, then season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.
06 - Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly into a compact wrap.
07 - Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • No cooking required, which means you can make these in your pajamas on a lazy weekend morning.
  • The contrast between creamy goat cheese, juicy strawberries, and peppery spinach tastes far more elegant than the five minutes it takes to assemble.
  • It's naturally vegetarian but doesn't taste like you're missing anything—the balsamic glaze adds enough depth to make it feel like a real meal.
02 -
  • Dry your spinach thoroughly before using it; wet spinach releases water that will gradually soften your wrap from the inside out, turning it from crisp to soggy within an hour.
  • If you're making these ahead for a picnic or lunch, assemble everything except the dressing, then drizzle the balsamic and olive oil just before eating—that fifteen-minute window between assembly and eating is when these taste best.
03 -
  • Toast your tortillas very lightly in a dry skillet for thirty seconds per side if they feel stiff; this makes them more pliable without making them warm, which would wilt your spinach.
  • Slice your strawberries right before assembly, not earlier—cut strawberries start leaking juice almost immediately, and that's the quickest way to end up with a soggy wrap.
