Ingredients
  

4 large flour tortillas

1 cup cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup fresh spinach leaves (optional, for added nutrition)

Balsamic glaze (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Creamy Mixture: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until the ingredients are smooth and well incorporated, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Add Tomatoes and Basil: Carefully fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped fresh basil leaves into the creamy mixture. Stir gently until the tomatoes and basil are fully coated with the cream cheese blend, taking care not to mash the tomatoes.

      Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla on a clean, flat surface. Using a spatula or the back of a spoon, spread a generous layer of the creamy tomato basil mixture across the tortilla, leaving approximately a half-inch border around the edges to prevent spilling during rolling.

        Add Cheese and Spinach: Evenly sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese over the creamy layer. If you are using spinach, lay a thin layer of fresh spinach leaves atop the cheese, distributing them evenly for a pop of color and nutrition.

          Wrap It Up: Starting from one end of the tortilla, carefully roll it tightly into a cylinder shape, ensuring that the filling remains contained as you go. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas and filling until all wraps are completed.

            Slice and Serve: Once all wraps are assembled, use a sharp knife to slice each wrap into pinwheels or halves, depending on your serving preference. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for an added flavor twist, if desired.

              Garnish and Enjoy: Arrange the finished wraps on a decorative serving platter. For an eye-catching presentation, sprinkle additional basil leaves on top and add a light drizzle of balsamic glaze.
