Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 5 minutes
• Total Time: 15 minutes
• Servings: 4 wraps
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 4 gluten-free tortillas
• 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
• 2 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
• 1 cup fresh basil leaves
• 4 tbsp balsamic glaze
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface. Brush each tortilla lightly with extra virgin olive oil for added flavor.
2. Place slices of fresh mozzarella evenly across the center of each tortilla.
3. Layer the sliced tomatoes on top of the mozzarella. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
4. Add fresh basil leaves over the tomatoes, distributing them evenly.
5. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the top of each wrap, adding a touch of sweetness and acidity.
6. Fold the sides of the tortilla inwards, and then roll it tightly from the bottom up to form a secure wrap.
7. For a warm option, lightly grill the wraps on a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring the cheese melts slightly.
8. Serve immediately on a white ceramic plate, with an extra drizzle of balsamic glaze over the top for presentation.

Helpful Tips

• Storage: Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
• Ingredient Substitutions: If you’re not gluten-sensitive, feel free to use regular tortillas or whole wheat wraps. Vegan mozzarella can be used as a dairy-free alternative.
• Variations: Add a handful of arugula for an extra peppery bite, or a few slices of avocado for creaminess.

Pairings

• Serve with a side of mixed green salad, dressed with lemon vinaigrette.
• Complement the wrap with a glass of sparkling water infused with lemon and mint, or a crisp white grape juice for a non-alcoholic option.
