Make the yogurt-herb dressing

- Continue mixing until the dressing is smooth and well combined.
- Set it aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Prepare the salad filling
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, sliced cucumber, and halved cherry tomatoes.

Warm the tortillas
- Heat a dry non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds per side, just until it's soft and pliable.
- Stack the warm tortillas on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Assemble the wraps
- Lay one warm tortilla on a clean surface.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt dressing evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese down the center.
- Top the cheese with a generous handful of the salad mixture.
Fold and serve
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla first, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
- Slice the wrap in half on a diagonal if you like, and serve immediately.
What to keep in mind.
5 tips from the recipe — small details that make a real difference to the final dish.
- 1Warm the tortillas before rolling. This makes them more pliable and prevents cracking.
- 2Don't overfill the wraps, or they'll be difficult to roll and might fall apart.
- 3For meal prep, store the dressing, cheese, and salad mixture in separate containers. Assemble just before eating to keep everything crisp.
- 4Add other crisp vegetables like thinly sliced bell peppers, shredded carrots, or red onion for extra crunch and flavor.
- 5To add a bit of spice, mix a pinch of red pepper flakes into the yogurt dressing.
