Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

8 oz cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)

2 cups fresh spinach, thoroughly washed and dried

8 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced into thin wedges

1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced

1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Optional: capers for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the chopped fresh dill. Use a spatula or spoon to mix them until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. Season the mixture with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

    Heat the Tortillas: In a dry skillet over medium heat, warm the whole wheat tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side or until they become soft and pliable. This warming step is essential as it helps prevent the tortillas from tearing when you roll them.

      Spread the Cream Cheese: On a clean, flat surface, place one tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture across the center, leaving about an inch of space around the edges to prevent overflow.

        Layer the Ingredients: On top of the cream cheese, add a handful of fresh spinach, followed by slices of smoked salmon. Next, place wedges of avocado and scatter thin slices of red onion evenly. For a burst of freshness, drizzle a little lemon juice over the layered ingredients.

          Wrap It Up: Beginning from one end of the tortilla, gently roll it up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go to ensure the filling stays secure inside. Repeat this rolling process for the remaining tortillas.

            Slice and Serve: After all the wraps are rolled, use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally. If you’d like, sprinkle some capers on top for an elegant touch. Serve immediately for the best flavor, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a refreshing chilled option.

              Enjoy!: These creamy salmon and spinach wraps make for a delicious and nutritious lunch or snack, perfect for enjoying on the go or at a picnic.
