Walnuts, or pecans if you prefer, add a nutty crunch. Green onions add a fresh taste, and dill brings an herby note. Don't forget salt and pepper to make all the flavors pop. Whole wheat or spinach tortillas are perfect for wrapping everything up. They add fiber and color. Fresh spinach or lettuce leaves provide a crisp layer.
