1pinchcoconut sugar(optional, to taste) (or other sweetener)
salt and pepper(to taste)
For the lemon pepper avocado mash:
2ripe avocados
salt and pepper(to taste)
juice of 1/2 of a fresh lemon(or to taste)
For the roasted vegetable avocado garden wraps:
4whole wheat tortillas
avocado mash(recipe above)
roasted vegetables(recipe above)
fresh sprouts or microgreens(optional)
Instructions
For the roasted vegetables:
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the prepped vegetables to a a glass baking dish and add just enough olive oil to lightly coat them. Sprinkle with the spices and salt and pepper to taste, and give a stir to combine them.
Roast for about 30 minutes, stirring a couple of times, or until the vegetables are tender and a little browned. Because of the choice of baking dish and the moisture content of the onion and peppers, these roasted vegetables will come out juicy and sweet rather than crisp, which is how I like them in my wraps. You can make them on a large sheet pan if you want a crispier, more dry texture.
For the lemon pepper avocado mash:
Mash the avocado well. Add to a bowl along with plenty of salt and pepper to taste. Finish with a couple of squeezes of lemon, just enough to make the flavors pop.
For the roasted vegetable avocado garden wraps:
Warm a tortilla for 30 seconds on a skillet or in the microwave. Spread about a quarter of the avocado mash onto the tortilla. Top the avocado mash with a generous helping of roasted veggies, pressing them slightly into the avocado to adhere everything together. Finish with a big handful of sprouts.
Gently roll up the wrap, pushing the filling together as you go (see my post for helpful links about how to do this part). Use a serrated knife to slice the wrap in half on the diagonal. Enjoy warm; or refrigerate and enjoy the leftovers cold or at room temperature.
Notes
Don't worry too much about separating the individual strands of onion before roasting; they'll come apart more easily when you stir the vegetables during and after cooking.Variations: use a different mix of vegetables; make it Tex-mex by using guacamole instead of the avocado mash and adding cumin to the vegetable seasoning; make it gluten-free by using gluten-free wraps or sandwich bread of choice; swap out the sprouts for spinach, arugula, shredded cabbage, or other fresh greens.
