# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in 15 minutes flat, which means you can make lunch without sacrificing flavor or nutrition.
  • The combination of sweet strawberries, tangy goat cheese, and earthy spinach is honestly addictive once you try it.
  • It's naturally vegetarian but feels fancy enough to serve at a casual gathering without apologies.
02 -
  • If you prep these ahead, the spinach will eventually release moisture and make the tortilla soggy, so add the dressing only right before eating. I learned this the hard way at a picnic when my carefully prepared wraps turned into mush by lunchtime.
  • Don't slice the strawberries too thin or they'll practically dissolve into the other ingredients. Aim for quarter-inch thickness so they stay distinct.
  • The 1-inch border on the tortilla is non-negotiable if you want a clean fold. Too much filling right to the edge and your wrap will burst open as you roll.
03 -
  • Toast your tortillas very lightly in a dry skillet for 10 seconds per side before filling—it makes them pliable and adds a subtle warmth that changes everything.
  • If you're making these for a crowd, set up an assembly line with all ingredients prepped in separate bowls and let people build their own wraps to their taste.
  • The diagonal cut isn't just pretty; it actually makes the wrap easier to handle and less likely to fall apart as you're eating it.
