# Ingredients:

01 - 1 cup fresh or frozen pitted cherries, halved
02 - 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
03 - 1 tablespoon honey
04 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
05 - 1/8 teaspoon salt
06 - 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

07 - 4 large flour tortillas
08 - 8 ounces cooked turkey breast, thinly sliced
09 - 1 cup baby spinach or mixed greens
10 - 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
11 - 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
12 - 1/4 cup toasted pecans, chopped (optional)

# Instructions:

01 - Combine cherries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cherries soften and the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
02 - Lay flour tortillas on a clean work surface. Evenly distribute turkey slices, spinach, goat cheese, red onion, and pecans (if using) across the center of each tortilla. Drizzle each with the prepared cherry balsamic glaze.
03 - Fold in the sides of each tortilla, then roll up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling. Slice in half, secure with a toothpick if needed, and serve immediately.

03 -
  • The secret to perfect wraps is temperature control. Slightly warming your tortillas makes them more pliable and less likely to tear during rolling. Just 10 seconds in the microwave or a quick pass over a gas flame does the trick.
  • When making the cherry glaze, patience is key. Resist the urge to increase the heat to speed up the process. A gentle simmer allows the cherries to break down properly while preventing the sugars from burning.
  • For meal prep, store components separately and assemble just before eating. This keeps the greens crisp and prevents soggy tortillas, ensuring restaurant-quality wraps every time.
