A tasty wrap recipe. I’m always on the lookout for recipe inspiration and by chance found a tortilla recipe on the blog of Hellofresh.
I did not even know they have tortilla recipes on their blog. Goes to show that you can find inspiration anywhere as long as you care to look and see the possibilities.
I like to put my twist on whatever recipe I find and that is what I did with this recipe as well. This recipe is all about salmon as it goes great with avocado.
You can make them ahead of time, freeze them and take them wherever you go. When I think salmon, I also think Asian, so this recipe gets an Asian twist as well by using sweet soy sauce in the marinade.

There are different ways to store these wraps:
- Freezer – if you make these salmon tortilla wraps ahead of time wrap them in aluminum foil and store them in the freezer. Let them thaw when they are ready to be eaten.
- Refrigerator – store in the fridge if you are going to eat them the same day.
