Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 2 inches watger to a boil. Place the asparagus in a steamer basket, cover, and steam until just tender, 6-8 minutes. Remove the asparagus and immediately rinse in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, mash the avocado, lime juice, and garlic into a coarse puree.
- In another small bowl, stir together the rice and yogurt to mix well.
- Heat a dry large frying pan (not one with a nonstick surface)over medium heat. One at a time, heat the tortillas in the hot pan until softened, about 20 seconds per side.
- Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread the avocado mixture equally among the tortillas. Top each with an equal amount of the rice mixture, asparagus, cilantro, and onion.
- Fold in both sides and the bottom of each tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. If made in advance, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour. Return to room temperature before serving.
- To serve, cut each wrap in half crosswise.

[email protected]Overall, I thought these wraps were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't amazing either. I probably wouldn't make them again.

[email protected]I thought the almond butter dipping sauce was too thick. I would have preferred a thinner sauce that was easier to dip the wraps into.

[email protected]The wraps fell apart easily, which made them a bit difficult to eat. I think I would have been better off using a different type of tortilla.

[email protected]These wraps were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them more if I had added some more spices or herbs.
