Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4 wraps
Ingredients
- 4 large tortillas
- 1 cup goat cheese
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by washing the red bell pepper and fresh mint leaves thoroughly. Pat the pepper dry and slice it into thin, uniform strips.
- Lay out the large tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Ensure they are at room temperature for easier wrapping.
- Drizzle olive oil lightly across each tortilla, spreading it evenly to create a thin, flavorful base.
- Crumble the goat cheese and distribute it evenly across the center of each tortilla, leaving about 2 inches of space from the edges.
- Arrange the sliced red bell pepper strips over the goat cheese, creating a colorful and even layer.
- Sprinkle fresh mint leaves generously over the peppers, tearing larger leaves into smaller pieces for better distribution.
- Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Carefully fold the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly from bottom to top to create a secure wrap.
- Optional: Lightly toast the wrapped tortillas in a dry skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side to create a golden, crisp exterior.
- Slice each wrap diagonally and serve immediately while fresh and at room temperature.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your tortillas are at room temperature to prevent cracking when folding.
- Even Distribution: Spread ingredients evenly to guarantee a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Mint Magic: Tear mint leaves instead of chopping to release more essential oils and intensify the flavor.
- Crisp Option: For a golden exterior, lightly toast your wrap in a dry skillet for extra texture.
- Freshness is Key: Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal blend of temperatures and textures.
- Customization Hack: Experiment with different cheese varieties or add a drizzle of honey for a sweet twist.
