Ingredients
Vegetable Fillings
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1/2 cup sliced bell peppers (red or yellow)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
Dressing
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Wraps
- 4 large whole wheat tortillas
- Optional: handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens
Instructions
- Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Rinse and drain all fresh vegetables. Peel, pit, and slice the avocado. Thinly slice the cucumber, bell peppers, and red onion. Shred the carrots and red cabbage finely to ensure easy rolling.
- Assemble the Wraps: Lay out each whole wheat tortilla on a clean surface. Spread a light layer of the lime-cilantro dressing evenly over each tortilla.
- Add Fillings: Place a handful of fresh spinach or mixed greens on the tortilla, then layer the shredded carrots, cucumber slices, red cabbage, bell peppers, red onion, and avocado slices evenly over the greens.
- Roll the Wrap: Carefully fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to enclose the filling securely. Use a sharp knife to slice the wrap diagonally in half if desired.
- Serve: Serve the fresh avocado veggie wraps immediately, or wrap them tightly in parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 4 hours to enjoy later as a refreshing meal or snack.
Notes
- For extra protein, add chickpeas or black beans to the filling.
- You can substitute whole wheat tortillas with gluten-free wraps if needed.
- To prevent avocado browning, squeeze a little lime juice directly on the slices before assembling.
- These wraps are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one day.
- Feel free to customize the veggies based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
