Doesn't anyone know you have to cook the tortillas, either on a tortilla grill, or on an iron skillet? The tortillas are NOT cooked all the way they are only cooked enough to keep them from spoiling. Try putting the tortilla on a iron griddle or iron skillet, NO grease, when they start to brown turn over coon the other side put on paper towel over tin foil and fold over while cooking the others.

Hubby and I both thought that these wraps were good...but not something we would enjoy again...the salmon was Alaskan Smoked and delicious...we enjoyed it mixed with the cream cheese mixture...but didn't really seem to mix well with the other ingredients...we didn't taste the lemon at all...the asparagus and red pepper were the dominate flavors in the wrap...I didn't have spinach so use green leaf lettuce...pretty sure that didn't effect the overall dish...it sure did make a nice presentation...:)

I'm in love with the more then simple, but so fresh lunch snack! I used these as appetizers, but cutting them into thirds. I also added a bit of salmon along with the asparagus, and peppers. Totally loved this, and thanks for posting such a lovely treat! Made for Down on the Farm Photo Event 2012
