Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wrap

| January 29, 2015

Wraps are fun, easy, portable, and can be creatively tailored to suit a variety of dietary preferences (including gluten-free and vegan options). Whole grain flat bread selections are a good boost of fiber, as is the scrumptious white bean and vegetable filling called for in this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2 T cider vinegar
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 tsp. finely chopped canned chipotle chile in adobo
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 15 oz. can white beans, rinsed
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 2 T minced red onion
  • 4 8-10-inch whole-grain wraps or tortillas

Directions

  1. Whisk vinegar, oil, chipotle chile and salt in a medium bowl. Add cabbage, carrot and cilantro; toss to combine.
  2. Mash beans and avocado in another medium bowl with a potato masher or fork. Stir in the onion.
  3. To assemble the wraps, spread about 1/2 cup of the bean-avocado mixture onto a wrap (or tortilla) and top with about 2/3 cup of the cabbage-carrot slaw. Roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut the wraps in half to serve, if desired.
