Provided by Salt Lake Meal Swap

Categories     Vegan

Time 10m

Yield 2 wraps

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 wraps (extra large, any variety)
1/2 avocado, peeled and sliced into thick strips (Florida )
1 medium yellow tomatoes, sliced thick (red works too)
1 small sweet onion, sliced
4 tablespoons lime juice (or lemon)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (or more lime juice)
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1 cup shredded carrot
fresh ground black pepper
pumpkin seeds
salad dressing (or spread)

Steps:

  • Slice your avocado in half. Rub the extra half with lime juice, cover and stick in the fridge for later use. Or make 4 wraps and use the whole thing. Remove the pit and slice into long thick strips. Set aside in a bowl and coat in lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Slice your onion and tomato. Place in separate bowl and toss with the EVOO, maple syrup, splash of lime juice and apple cider vinegar (or more lime juice). Note, you can also use lemon juice if you'd prefer.
  • Grab your bean/nut spicy spread. See above recipe for options. I used a chipotle hummus dip mixed with a splash of lime juice to thin it out a bit.
  • Warm your tortillas in the oven until they are soft and pliable.
  • Spread a nice amount of your spread onto the wrap.
  • Add about 4 long slices of avocado, a few slices of tomato, onion, shredded carrots and a pinch of pepper. You can add an extra splash of the veggie marinade juices (maple/EVOO/lime) if you'd like. I actually whipped the extra marinade with a Tbsp of Vegenaise to make a wrap sauce on the side. Yum.
  • Carefully roll up your wrap and fold in a paper towel to make it easier to slice.
  • Serve! Sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds on top if you'd like.

SOUTH FLORIDA AVOCADO SUMMER WRAP



South Florida Avocado Summer Wrap image

I wish I'd had this when I was younger growing up in Miami. Vegan and full of flavor. It's all about the flavor! If you don't have spicy hummus, just add a little chipotle in adobe sauce or some sriracha sauce to regular hummus(and maybe a splash of lemon or lime juice to thin it out). For a change try mixing the mayo with a little Thai sweet chili sauce.

FRESH AVOCADO SUMMER ROLLS WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE



Fresh Avocado Summer Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce image

Veggie-packed rolls with avocado, red cabbage, carrots, basil, and mint - all served up with a super easy peanut dipping sauce. Perfect light summer dinner!

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup carrots (cut into matchsticks (about 1 large carrot))
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1/2 of a lime)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon honey (can substitute granulated sugar or agave syrup)
8 rice paper spring roll wrappers
1 medium avocado (halved, pitted, and sliced)
3-4 green leaf lettuce leaves (rinsed, dried, and torn in half)
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice (from about 1 lime)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons honey (or agave syrup)
1/2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce (or more to taste)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, salt, and honey (or other sweetener). Add cabbage and carrots. Toss. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce. To a medium bowl, add the peanut butter, Tamari, 2 tablespoons lime juice, rice vinegar, honey (or other sweetener), and Sriracha. Stir with a whisk 1-2 minutes until creamy. Taste and add additional Sriracha if desired. Set aside.
  • Slice your avocado and prep the mint, basil, and lettuce if you haven't already.
  • Add about 1/2 inch of warm water to an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish or a pie pan. Place one rice paper wrapper in the water and submerge. Let sit for about 1 minute, until soft.
  • Carefully transfer the rice paper wrapper to your clean kitchen counter or cutting board. At this point, I like to put another rice paper wrapper in the water to soak while I'm assembling so it's ready to go when I'm done with the previous one. To assemble, place a couple of mint leaves in a short vertical line just left of center, then top with a couple of slices of avocado. Then, place 1/8 cup or so of the cabbage and carrots inside a lettuce leaf then place the veggies just right of center. Top with two or three of basil leaves.
  • To roll, bring the right side of the wrapper toward the center, then fold the top and bottom in toward the middle. Finish by bringing the left side toward the center, pulling as tightly as you can without ripping. The rice paper should stick to itself and voila! A summer roll! Repeat until all 8 rolls are assembled.
  • Cut rolls in half, if desired, and serve with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • Select ripe avocados: Choose avocados that are firm to the touch, with a slightly yielding texture. Avoid avocados that are too soft or have blemishes.
  • Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Drizzle the avocado flesh with lime juice to prevent browning.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your wraps will taste. Look for fresh, ripe vegetables, and high-quality cheese and meat.
  • Don't overfill the wraps: Be careful not to overfill the wraps, or they will be difficult to fold and eat. Aim for a moderate amount of filling so that the wraps are easy to handle.
  • Experiment with different fillings: There are endless possibilities for fillings in these wraps. Try different combinations of vegetables, proteins, and cheeses to find your favorite.

Conclusion:

Florida avocado summer wraps are a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of summer. They are perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner, and they can be customized to suit your taste. With a little creativity, you can create endless variations of these wraps that will keep you satisfied all summer long. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give Florida avocado summer wraps a try. You won't be disappointed!
