Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This recipe packs vibrant, fresh flavors in every bite. It’s perfect for busy weeknights, requiring minimal cook time while delivering a nutritious meal. You’ll love how these wraps harmonize the creamy and tangy notes of feta with the earthy taste of spinach. It’s a versatile recipe that you can easily adapt to suit your taste or dietary preferences.
Ingredients Notes
Using fresh spinach ensures a crispy, vibrant texture, but you can substitute with frozen spinach if necessary. Make sure it’s thoroughly drained. For feta cheese, choose a high-quality block that you can crumble yourself to achieve the best flavor. Flour tortillas provide the best flexibility, but feel free to use whole grain for a healthier twist.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Begin by washing and drying the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly. Set them aside to ensure they are free from excess water.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, add a touch of olive oil and sauté the spinach until just wilted. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3
On each tortilla, evenly spread a thin layer of mashed avocado for a creamy base. This not only adds flavor but also helps hold the wrap together.
Step 4
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese generously over the avocado base. The cheese’s creaminess and tang should pair wonderfully with the spinach.
Step 5
Place the sautéed spinach onto the tortilla and carefully roll it up. Slice into halves before serving to make handling easier.
Storage Options
Store any leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. If you plan to freeze, wrap each tortilla individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator and warm in an oven at low heat to maintain the wrap’s texture.
Variations & Substitutions
For a dairy-free version, substitute the feta with a plant-based cheese alternative. If you prefer a little heat, add a few red pepper flakes to spice things up. Alternatively, you can incorporate sun-dried tomatoes or black olives for different flavor profiles that complement the primary ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cheese? Absolutely! While feta offers a distinct flavor, you can substitute it with goat cheese or mozzarella for a milder taste. Make sure the cheese you choose complements the flavors and does not overpower the spinach and avocado.
What can I serve alongside these wraps? These wraps pair excellently with a light side salad or a bowl of tomato soup. For a more filling meal, consider serving them with a quinoa salad, which complements the fresh flavors without adding too much complexity.
Can I make these wraps ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the components in advance and assemble the wraps when needed. Keep the spinach and feta mix in the refrigerator and construct the wraps right before serving to retain the best texture and flavor.
