Ingredients
- 3 ripe but firm peaches
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 (10-inch) large flour tortillas or wraps
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella or burrata
- 4 cups baby arugula or mixed greens
- 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp honey
- 3/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
Instructions
- 1Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat until hot, about 400°F surface temperature. Halve and pit the peaches, then brush cut sides lightly with olive oil.
- 2Grill peaches cut-side down 3 to 4 minutes until deep grill marks appear and the flesh softens slightly but still holds shape. Flip briefly for 1 minute, then transfer to a cutting board to cool.
- 3Slice the grilled peaches into thin wedges. In a small bowl, whisk remaining olive oil with lemon juice, honey, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using to make a quick bright dressing.
- 4Warm the tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat 20 to 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly toasted. Keep stacked under a clean towel.
- 5Mash the avocado with salt and a squeeze of lemon until creamy but still textured. Spread a thin layer across the center of each warm tortilla.
- 6Layer greens down the middle of each wrap, then tear mozzarella into pieces and scatter over the greens. Add peach wedges, red onion, and plenty of torn basil.
- 7Drizzle each filled wrap with the lemon-honey dressing. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly from the bottom like a burrito so nothing spills.
- 8If packing for later, wrap snugly in parchment or foil. For immediate eating, halve on a bias and serve while the peaches are still slightly warm and the basil is fragrant.
- 9Optional finish: briefly press the sealed wrap in a dry skillet 1 minute per side for extra crisp exterior without wilting the greens.
