Ingredients
  

1 large cucumber

1 cup cream cheese (softened at room temperature)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons fresh dill (finely chopped)

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic (minced)

Salt and pepper (to taste)

4 large whole-wheat tortillas (or wraps of your choice)

1 cup mixed greens (such as arugula or spinach)

1/2 red bell pepper (thinly sliced)

1/2 avocado (sliced)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, lemon juice, and minced garlic. Use a spatula or whisk to mix until the ingredients are well blended and smooth. Taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper as needed.

    Slice the Cucumber: Rinse the cucumber under cold water to clean. Using a vegetable peeler, alternate peeling strips of the skin for a decorative effect. Then, slice the cucumber into thin rounds, aiming for even thickness for uniform texture.

      Assemble the Wraps: Take a tortilla and place it flat on a clean cutting board or surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the creamy dill mixture evenly over the entire surface of the tortilla.

        Add the Greens and Veggies: In the center of the spread tortilla, place a handful of mixed greens. Layer on the cucumber slices, followed by a few thin slices of red bell pepper, and finally add the avocado slices on top.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it tightly over the filling, applying gentle pressure to maintain shape while ensuring the filling stays inside. Once fully rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the wrap in half diagonally for easier eating.

            Repeat: Continue the assembly process with the remaining tortillas and the creamy filling until all ingredients have been used.

              Serve: Arrange the finished wraps on a decorative platter. Optionally garnish with extra dill sprigs and serve alongside lemon wedges for an added fresh zing when enjoying these wraps.
