Sometimes I forget that sometimes, simple really is better.
With all the competition in the recipe world these days, you have to have the next brilliant idea. The best over the top dessert. The new and improved version of a classic.
But sometimes it is the combination of a few simple ingredients that makes something great.
Today’s recipe is a prime example of this.
A simple wrap, using classic flavor combinations to make a light lunch or dinner, perfect for summer.
Tangy cream cheese, paired with sweet summer strawberries, creamy avocado, healthy spinach and a drizzle of balsamic vinaigrette, all nestled in a soft flour tortilla.
I loved this as a healthy and vegetarian break from my regular mundane turkey sandwich that is my normal daily lunch.
Totally simple.
Totally perfect.
