Carpaccio Wrap Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Pine nuts: To add crunch.
- Tortilla: I prefer a plain, white flour tortilla. I use the 20 cm (8 inch) size but you can use the larger size.
- Cream cheese: Full-fat garlic-flavoured cream cheese, but use what you like.
- Bresaola: Thinly sliced cured beef. Available at larger supermarkets.
- Arugula: Adds a sharp, spicy taste.
- Parmesan: For that nutty, cheesy flavor.
- Seasoning: Sea salt, black pepper, white and dark balsamic glaze, and extra virgin olive oil.

- Roll up the wrap.




Possible Variations
- Pine nuts: Try roasted sesame seeds, cashews, almonds, pistachios, or walnuts.
