At the heart of this recipe lies the importance of using fresh ingredients, particularly ripe tomatoes and fragrant basil. Fresh tomatoes, preferably cherry or grape varieties, bring a natural sweetness and juiciness that elevates the dish. Their bright red hue is an indication of their ripeness, and their flavor is far superior to that of canned alternatives. Basil, with its aromatic leaves, adds an invigorating herbal note that complements the creaminess of the cheese. Together, these ingredients create a balance that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cream cheese, softened

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup spinach leaves (optional for added nutrition)

Balsamic glaze (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.

    Add Tomatoes and Basil: Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped basil leaves into the cream cheese mixture until all ingredients are evenly coated.

      Assemble the Wraps: Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the creamy tomato basil mixture over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.

        Add Cheese and Spinach: Sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the creamy layer. If using spinach, add a thin layer of spinach leaves over the cheese.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla tightly until completely wrapped. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

            Slice and Serve: Once all wraps are assembled, slice each wrap into pinwheels or halves, depending on your preference. Drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired for an extra layer of flavor.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Arrange the wraps on a serving platter. Garnish with additional basil leaves or a drizzle of balsamic glaze before serving.
