  • 3-8” (20cm) flour tortillas
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into thin slices

  2. In a bowl, mix together the goat cheese and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Spread one-third of the mixture over half of each of the tortilla.
  3. Divide the pepper strips evenly over the 3 halves of the tortillas. Layer the avocado slices over the pepper strips and top with the minced red onions.
  4. Divide the salmon evenly on the tortilla halves. Fold the tortillas over, pressing to seal.
