Recipe from http://www.livestrong.com/article/269112-smoked-salmon-nutrition/
Ingredients:
- 2 large sprouted-wheat or whole-wheat tortillas
- 1/4 cup (2 oz.) whipped light cream cheese
- 1/2 cup very thinly sliced English cucumber
- 2 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
- 2 generous handfuls broccoli sprouts or baby arugula leaves
Directions:
- Spread each tortilla with half of cream cheese. Arrange half of cucumber slices on each in a single layer over cream cheese, overlapping them slightly if necessary and leaving a strip about one inch (2.5 cm.) wide along one edge of tortilla uncovered. Arrange salmon over cucumbers, dividing it evenly. Scatter sprouts over cucumbers.
- Roll up tortillas, beginning opposite the uncovered cream cheese and tucking tortilla snugly around ingredients. Press firmly on cream cheese end to seal. Turn seal side down and, using a serrated knife, cut each wrap in half on the diagonal.
- Serve right away or wrap tightly in waxed paper, plastic wrap, or aluminum foil and take to go.
