Tortilla Christmas Trees Recipe

1. Cut triangles – All you need to do is cut tortillas in halves and slice again into halves. Depending on the size of the tortillas, you will need to cut them into small triangles. Besides tortillas, you can also use your favorite wraps.
2. Add toppings – Start with a vibrant green spread or dip. I love guacamole and avocados add that perfect tree color. Simple smashed avocados seasoned with salt and pepper is also totally perfect. Tomatoes act as the ornaments while cucumbers form the tree stump.
3. Top with cheese star – A simple star cut out from your favorite cheese add that absolute festive magic to the tortillas.
