Instructions
Basil Cream Cheese:
- Blend cream cheese, basil and lemon zest in a food processor. Add the milk while the machine is on to incorporate. Add salt and pepper to taste.
To Assemble:
- Prepare the balsamic reduction by simmering 4 oz. balsamic vinegar until it is reduced by half and is slightly thickened. You will need 1 oz.
- Warm tortillas briefly in a pre-heated pan. Remove and place on serving plate. Spread 1 oz. basil cream cheese on each tortilla. Place one piece of lettuce on half of each tortilla. Place remaining ingredients on each tortilla in the following order: 2 slices of tomato, 1 oz. radish sprouts, 1 oz. cucumber, 2/3 ounce red onion, 2/3 ounce corn, and 4 cherry tomato halves.
- Drizzle each with Balsamic Reduction. Top each with 2 slices of Fresh California Avocados. Serve.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
