Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Avocado
Provides creamy texture and rich fat that gives the filling body.
Feta cheese
Adds salty, tangy flavor and a crumbly texture to the filling.
Sunflower seeds
Add crunch and a toasted, nutty flavor to the salad.
Soy mayonnaise
Binds the filling and adds moisture and creaminess.
Flour tortillas
Serve as the edible wrap that holds the filling together.

The step that matters

Warming the tortillas under the broiler. Broiler heat is intense and fast, so tortillas can scorch or dry out in seconds. Watch them closely so they soften and warm through without browning too much or becoming brittle.

Swap the grape
