Caprese Avocado Wrap

Ingredients

• 2 whole large flour tortillas (10-inch)
• 6 oz fresh mozzarella
• 1 medium ripe tomato
• 1 whole ripe avocado
• 8 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1 to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the mozzarella dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, pressing gently to remove surface moisture so it doesn't make the wrap soggy.

2. 2

   Slice the tomato crosswise into thin rounds about 1/4-inch thick, cutting perpendicular to the stem end so each slice shows the full interior.

3. 3

   Slice the mozzarella into thin pieces about 1/8-inch thick, using a sharp knife and wiping the blade clean between slices to prevent tearing.

4. 4

   Cut the avocado in half lengthwise from tip to bottom around the pit, twist the halves apart, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh directly onto a cutting board.

5. 5

   Slice the avocado flesh into strips about 1/4-inch wide by laying the scooped halves flat and slicing lengthwise, like cutting butter into sticks.

6. 6

   Lay one tortilla flat on a clean cutting board or plate with the smoother side facing down.

7. 7

   Arrange half the mozzarella slices in a horizontal line across the center of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches of space from each edge.

8. 8

   Layer half the tomato slices directly on top of the mozzarella, slightly overlapping each slice like roof shingles.

9. 9

   Arrange half the avocado slices in a single layer on top of the tomato, pressing gently so they stay in place.

10. 10

    Tear 4 basil leaves into bite-sized pieces and scatter them over the avocado, distributing them evenly across the filling.

11. 11

    Drizzle 0.5 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar in a light zigzag pattern across the filling, using about half the amount for this wrap.

12. 12

    Sprinkle a small pinch of salt and pepper over the filling, tasting as you go and adjusting to preference.

13. 13

    Fold the left edge of the tortilla over the filling about 2 inches, then fold the right edge over to overlap, creating a closed cylinder.

14. 14

    Roll the wrap away from you, keeping the filling tucked inside and rolling until you reach the far edge, creating a tight spiral.

15. 15

    Slice the wrap in half diagonally, cutting from one corner to the opposite corner at a 45-degree angle to expose the colorful layers inside.

16. 16

    Repeat steps 6–15 with the second tortilla, remaining mozzarella, tomato, avocado, basil, and vinegar for the second wrap.
