tortilla wraps |
4 |
|
|
inch rucola leaves, cleaned, about 50 to 60 gr total |
|
inch fresh basil leaves, cleaned, 3 basil leaves per wrap, torn pieces / so 12 basil leaves for 4 wraps |
|
smoked salmon: about 150 to 200 gr for 4 wraps |
Step 1 |
Take a plate & place 1 tortilla on it. Put water on all the tortilla. Dip the rest of the excess water off with kitchen paper. |
Step 2 |
|
Step 3 |
Take it out of the microwave. The tortilla wil not be hot. |
Step 4 |
Spread the ricotta all over the tortilla. Spread it out on all the sides. |
Step 5 |
|
Step 6 |
Now, on a horizontal line, place the rucola leaves on top of the salmon. Not too much because rucola is nutty & too much is too much. You want a subtile taste! So, spread the rucola evenly. |
Step 7 |
Then, add the 3 pieces of torn basil leaves, just above & under the horizontal line of rucola leaves, evenly spread. |
Step 8 |
Now, instead of rolling it up, fold the left side a bit into the middle of the tortilla & then fold the right side a bit into the middle & then roll the filled tortilla carefully up. |
Step 9 |
Take your rolled up tortilla & turn it over. Cut diagonal in 2. |
Step 10 |
Take a serving plate & plate up! Put 1 half on the plate & place the other half on top!! |
Step 11 |
Yum yum!! Don't forget the wine!! |
I made these lovely wraps yesterday! It feels like summer when you are eating them.
And I want spring & summer to be there!
I had some sheep ricotta in the fridge & thought that smoked salmon would go lovely with it!
Then I added rucola leaves & torn basil leaves. Every flavour combines beautifully.
It is lovely enjoyed with some good white wine like Mâcon Villages 2007, Blanc sec.
