Ingredients
  

4 large whole wheat tortillas

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)

2 cups fresh spinach, thoroughly washed and gently dried

8 oz smoked salmon, thinly sliced

1 ripe avocado, sliced into thin wedges

1/2 small red onion, finely sliced

1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional: capers, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and finely chopped fresh dill. Use a spatula or fork to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.

    Heat the Tortillas: Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Place two whole wheat tortillas in the skillet and warm them for about 30 seconds on each side, or until they are soft and pliable. This will help prevent tearing when you roll them.

      Spread the Cream Cheese: Lay one warm tortilla flat on a clean surface. Using a spatula, spread a generous layer of the creamy dill mixture across the center of the tortilla, ensuring to leave about an inch of space around the edges.

        Layer the Ingredients: On top of the cream cheese, add a handful of fresh spinach, followed by slices of smoked salmon, wedges of avocado, and a few thin slices of red onion. Drizzle a little fresh lemon juice over the top for a burst of flavor.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it up tightly while tucking in the sides to secure the filling. Repeat this wrapping process with the remaining tortillas and ingredients until all are filled and rolled.

            Slice and Serve: Once all the wraps are completed, use a sharp knife to slice each wrap in half diagonally for easier eating. If desired, top each wrap with a few capers for a pop of flavor. Serve immediately, or store them tightly wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for a chilled treat (up to 2 hours).

              Enjoy!: These creamy salmon and spinach wraps make for a delightful, nutritious lunch or snack, perfect for enjoying on-the-go!
