- Layer half of the fresh spinach leaves in the center of each tortilla, creating a bed for the other ingredients. 0:04
- Arrange the cucumber slices, cherry tomato halves, sliced olives, and red onion slices evenly over the spinach on each wrap. Distribute the ingredients in the center, leaving space at the edges for folding. 0:05
