Smoked Salmon & Avocado Wrap with Cream Cheese

When I’m working from home and only have a short break between meetings, this smoked salmon and avocado wrap is the kind of lunch I reach for. It takes minutes to put together but never feels boring. Creamy avocado mashed with lemon and herbs, a swipe of cream cheese, and silky smoked salmon all wrapped up in a soft tortilla. It’s fresh, filling, and exactly the kind of simple food that makes the workday feel lighter.

Smoked salmon and avocado wrap with cream cheese, cut in half to show the creamy avocado filling, fresh herbs, and vibrant salmon inside a soft whole wheat tortilla.

Ingredients

• 100 g smoked salmon, torn into bite-sized pieces

• 1 ripe avocado

• Juice of ½ lemon (plus more to taste)

• 1-2 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 small handful fresh parsley and/or dill, finely chopped

• 2–3 tablespoons plain cream cheese

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 2 large or 3 medium tortillas or lavash wraps

Instructions

In a bowl, mash the avocado with lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until creamy but slightly chunky.

Stir in the chopped parsley.

Warm the wraps briefly in a pan or directly over the flame for a few seconds until soft and pliable.

Spread a generous swipe of cream cheese on each wrap.

Spoon the avocado mixture over the cream cheese layer.

Top with smoked salmon pieces.

Roll the wraps tightly or fold like a burrito. Slice in half and serve immediately—or wrap in parchment to take with you.
