Tortilla Roll with Smoked Salmon

The tortilla roll with smoked salmon is a delightful and quick breakfast option that combines the rich flavors of smoked or cured salmon with fresh vegetables wrapped in a soft tortilla. This dish incorporates a balance of protein, healthy fats, and crisp vegetables, making it both nutritious and satisfying.

  • 2 SERVINGS
    Ingredients:
    • 2-4 tortillas (depending on size and appetite)
    • 100 grams of smoked or cured red fish (such as salmon)
    • 1 cucumber, sliced into rounds
    • 1 tomato, sliced into half-moons
    • 1 small red onion (or yellow onion), sliced into half-moons
    • Cream cheese, as needed
    • Iceberg lettuce, roughly torn

    For Garnish:
    • Chives or green onions, sesame seeds
  1. Prepare the vegetables by slicing the cucumber into rounds, the tomato into half-moons, and the onion into thin half-moons.
  2. Roughly tear the iceberg lettuce.
  3. Spread a generous layer of cream cheese along one edge of each tortilla.
  4. Layer the smoked or cured fish over the cream cheese, followed by the cucumber, tomato, onion, and lettuce.
  5. Roll the tortilla tightly starting from the edge with the toppings, similar to wrapping a shawarma or burrito, ensuring that the fillings are snug within the roll.
  6. Cut the rolled tortilla into two halves or into smaller roll sizes, whichever is preferred.
Place the heavier and wetter ingredients like tomatoes and cucumbers in the middle of the tortilla, away from the edges, to prevent them from making the tortilla soggy or causing it to burst when rolled.

Use a sharp knife to cut the tortilla roll. If making smaller rolls, chilling the roll in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing can make this easier, as it helps the ingredients set.
