Crunchy Veggie Wraps              print recipe | close window     

1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
      (and /or hummus, low fat cream cheese, salsa, mustard)
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (optional)
4 8-inch whole-wheat flour tortillas
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and well-dried with stems removed
1 small ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into slices
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips
1 medium carrot, shredded or cut into strips

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and lime juice.

Heat the tortillas in the microwave for 15-20 seconds on high to make it easier for you to roll them. Spread each tortilla evenly with the mayonnaise mixture.

Arrange the spinach leaves on top of each tortilla, then the avocado slices, bell pepper and carrots. Roll the tortillas up tightly. Place the seam sides down on the serving plates.

Other Options: Use arugula instead of spinach. Add any type of beans, grated zucchini, tomatoes, shredded cabbage, onions, mushrooms and/or chopped cucumbers.

Makes 4 servings.
