The tortillas are often infused with herbs or spices, and the smoked salmon is typically pre-cooked and ready to eat, offering a savory and slightly salty taste. They are a convenient option for busy weeknights or casual gatherings, providing a base for various toppings and fillings.

To prepare, gently warm the tortillas before filling. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side, or briefly in a microwave. Once warm and pliable, spread a layer of cream cheese or a similar spread. Add the smoked salmon, and then layer with your favorite additions like fresh dill, capers, thinly sliced red onion, or a squeeze of lemon. Fold or roll them up to enjoy.
How it differs from similar foods
