Summer Tortillas
A refreshing and colorful summer snack featuring sweet fruits, creamy yogurt, and crispy tortillas, perfect for hot days and light, healthy eating.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut watermelon, apples, and strawberries into small pieces.
- Combine the chopped fruit and sliced almonds in a bowl to make a fruit salad.
- Spread vanilla nonfat yogurt on a tortilla shell.
- Add some of the fruit salad on top of the yogurt.
- Roll up the tortilla shell to make a fruit-filled wrap.
Tips & Substitutions
For a refreshing twist, try adding some mint leaves to the fruit salad. If watermelon isn't in season, honeydew or cantaloupe can be great substitutes. You can also use any variety of yogurt, such as Greek for added protein. To enhance the flavor, consider drizzling a bit of honey over the fruit salad. This recipe is perfect for summer gatherings, similar to how you might enjoy 5 Layer Dip at a party.
Serving Suggestions
These Summer Tortillas make a delightful light lunch or snack. Serve them alongside a refreshing salad or pair with a smoothie for a complete meal. For a fun twist, consider serving them as a dessert option at a summer gathering, perhaps alongside Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover fruit salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The tortillas can be kept at room temperature, but if you've assembled wraps, it's best to consume them within a few hours to avoid sogginess. Reheat the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet if you prefer them warm.
