What makes these wraps so special is the interplay of flavors and textures. The sweetness of ripe strawberries plays beautifully against the tangy crumble of goat cheese, while the balsamic glaze ties everything together with a rich, slightly sweet depth. A handful of roasted pecans or walnuts adds a satisfying crunch, and the whole wheat tortilla brings a hearty, nutty backbone to every bite. Whether you are serving these at a casual lunch or packing them for a sunny afternoon outside, they never fail to impress.

Ingredients

• Wraps: 4 large whole wheat tortillas

  • 4 cups baby spinach, washed and dried
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced

  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

Step 1 — Prepare your workspace

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.

Step 2 — Add the spinach

Evenly layer 1 cup of baby spinach on each tortilla, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.

Step 3 — Layer the produce

Distribute the sliced strawberries, cucumber, and red onion evenly among all four wraps.

Step 4 — Add cheese and nuts

Sprinkle with crumbled goat cheese and roughly chopped roasted pecans or walnuts, if using.

Step 5 — Dress the wraps

Drizzle with balsamic glaze and extra-virgin olive oil. Season with freshly ground black pepper and a pinch of sea salt.

Step 6 — Roll the wraps

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll up tightly into a wrap.

Step 7 — Slice and serve

Slice each wrap in half on the diagonal and serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Damit die Wraps schön frisch bleiben, solltest du die Zutaten erst kurz vor dem Servieren zusammenstellen. Wasche den Babyspinat gründlich und trockne ihn gut ab, damit die Tortilla nicht aufweicht. Schneide die Erdbeeren gleichmäßig dünn, damit sie sich gleichmäßig in jedem Wrap verteilen. Wenn du die Wraps vorbereitest, bewahre das Dressing separat auf und träufe es erst unmittelbar vor dem Essen darüber — so bleibt alles knackig und appetitlich.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept lässt sich wunderbar anpassen: Für extra Protein kannst du gegrilltes Hähnchen oder Kichererbsen hinzufügen. Anstelle von Babyspinat eignen sich auch Rucola oder gemischte Blattsalate. Wer es etwas süßer mag, kann den Balsamico-Sirup durch Honig ersetzen. Für eine glutenfreie Variante einfach glutenfreie Tortillas verwenden — alle anderen Zutaten bleiben gleich.

Serviervorschläge

Diese Wraps schmecken am besten frisch und werden diagonal halbiert auf einem rustikalen Holzbrett angerichtet. Sie passen hervorragend zu einem knackigen Sauvignon Blanc oder einem erfrischenden Sprudelwasser mit Limette. Für ein vollständiges leichtes Mittagessen serviere sie mit einem einfachen grünen Salat oder einer klaren Suppe. Als Picknick-Gericht lassen sie sich gut in Pergamentpapier einwickeln und kühl transportieren — die Sauce einfach separat mitbringen.
