Cold Poblano Soup Wraps


Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 large poblano peppers (firm and glossy)
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat preferred)
  • 1/2 English cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 lime, juiced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 large flour tortillas (burrito-size)
  • 1 cup mixed greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Optional: honey for balancing if poblanos are bitter

Instructions

  1. Roast poblano peppers over open flame, under broiler, or on grill until skin is completely charred and blistered all over.
  2. Place charred poblanos in plastic bag or covered bowl for 10-15 minutes to steam and loosen skins.
  3. Peel away all charred skin, remove stems and seeds, leaving clean poblano flesh.
  4. In blender, combine roasted poblanos, Greek yogurt, diced cucumber, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
  5. Blend until completely smooth and silky. Taste and adjust seasoning—should be balanced and refreshing.
  6. Chill soup in refrigerator for at least 1 hour until completely cold.
  7. Lay out flour tortillas and divide mixed greens and avocado slices equally among them.
  8. Pour chilled poblano soup over greens and avocado on each tortilla—don’t overfill.
  9. Roll up tortillas tightly, tucking in sides as you go to prevent spillage.
  10. Slice each wrap in half diagonally and serve immediately while cold.
