Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 1 cup tomatoes, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves
- Balsamic reduction for drizzling
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all the ingredients: 4 large tortillas, 1 cup of fresh mozzarella (sliced), 2 cups of mixed greens, 1 cup of sliced tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, and balsamic reduction.
- Lay out the tortillas on a clean, flat surface or a large cutting board.
- Evenly distribute the mixed greens onto the center of each tortilla, creating a bed for the other ingredients.
- Next, place a few slices of fresh mozzarella on top of the mixed greens on each tortilla.
- Follow the mozzarella with a layer of sliced tomatoes, arranging them evenly over the cheese.
- Add a generous handful of fresh basil leaves on top of the tomatoes for a burst of flavor.
- Drizzle balsamic reduction over the assembled ingredients on each tortilla, adjusting the amount to your taste preference.
- Once all the ingredients are layered, carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring that all the fillings are secured inside.
- Repeat the process for the remaining tortillas and fillings.
- Once all wraps are rolled, you can slice them in half diagonally for easier handling and presentation.
- Serve the veggie wraps immediately, or refrigerate them for a short period if preparing in advance. Enjoy your fresh and delicious Caprese-style veggie wraps!
Tips
- Choose high-quality ingredients: The key to an exceptional wrap is using fresh, ripe tomatoes, premium mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves.
- Room temperature ingredients: Allow mozzarella and tomatoes to come to room temperature before assembling to enhance their flavors.
- Balsamic reduction hack: If you don't have store-bought balsamic reduction, simply simmer balsamic vinegar until it thickens and becomes syrupy.
- Wrap rolling technique: To prevent ingredients from falling out, fold the sides in first, then roll tightly from the bottom up.
- Make ahead friendly: These wraps can be prepared in advance and wrapped in parchment paper for a perfect grab-and-go lunch.
- Customize your wrap: Feel free to add grilled vegetables or swap tortillas for gluten-free alternatives to suit your dietary needs.
