Ingredients
- Whole wheat wraps
- Pesto
- Avocado
- Tomatoes
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: whole wheat wraps, pesto, ripe avocados, fresh tomatoes, salt, and pepper.
- Start by preparing the avocados. Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth but still slightly chunky.
- Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the mashed avocado, mixing well to incorporate the seasoning. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
- Next, wash the tomatoes thoroughly. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds or wedges, depending on your preference.
- Take a whole wheat wrap and lay it flat on a clean surface or a plate. Spread a generous layer of pesto over the entire surface of the wrap, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Evenly distribute the mashed avocado over the pesto-covered wrap, spreading it out to cover as much of the surface as possible.
- Layer the sliced tomatoes on top of the avocado, arranging them in a single layer for even coverage.
- For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little more salt and pepper over the tomatoes if desired.
- Carefully fold in the sides of the wrap and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the fillings are tucked inside securely.
- Once rolled, slice the wrap in half diagonally for easier handling and serving.
- Repeat the process with the second wrap, using the remaining ingredients.
- Serve the pesto avocado tomato wraps immediately, or wrap them in foil or parchment paper for a portable snack or lunch option.
Tips
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch for the creamiest texture.
- Use high-quality, fresh pesto for maximum flavor impact.
- For extra crunch, consider toasting the wrap lightly before adding ingredients.
- If preparing in advance, wrap tightly in foil to keep ingredients fresh.
- Experiment with different types of wraps like spinach or tomato tortillas for variety.
- For a protein boost, add grilled chicken or chickpeas to the wrap.
- Use vine-ripened tomatoes for the most intense, sweet flavor.
- Keep ingredients at room temperature to enhance their natural flavors.
- If you like heat, add a dash of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce.
- Serve immediately after preparation to maintain the wrap's crisp texture.
