Ingredients
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- ½ cup basil pesto
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- Olive oil, for drizzling
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation
Start by making the balsamic reduction. Pour the balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan and add honey or maple syrup. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat and let it simmer until it thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 10-15 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Next, prepare the wraps. Lay a tortilla flat on a plate. Spread a generous layer of basil pesto over the tortilla. Arrange slices of fresh mozzarella evenly across the pesto. Add cherry tomato halves and basil leaves on top. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the fillings for extra flavor. Carefully roll up the tortilla, tucking in the sides as you go, to form a tight wrap. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the wraps in half diagonally for easier eating. Drizzle the balsamic reduction over the top for a sweet and tangy finish. These wraps are perfect served with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
