Ingredients
  

  • 2 large , ripe Hass avocados
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 large (10-inch) spinach or tomato flour tortillas
  • 1/2 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium ripe tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, grated
  • for Perfect Wraps
  • To prevent a soggy wrap, pat the sliced tomato and cucumber with a paper towel to remove excess moisture before adding them.
  • For a bit of crunch and healthy fats, toss in a tablespoon of toasted sunflower seeds or chopped walnuts.

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, halve and pit the avocados. Scoop the flesh into the bowl and add the lemon or lime juice. Mash with a fork to your desired consistency, then season generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Lay the tortillas on a clean, flat work surface.
  3. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each tortilla, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
  4. Arrange the sliced cucumber, tomato, and grated carrot in a line down the center of the avocado spread.
  5. Add another light sprinkle of salt and pepper over the vegetables if desired.
  6. Tightly roll up each tortilla. Use a sharp serrated knife to slice each wrap in half, either straight across or on a diagonal for a prettier presentation.
  7. Serve immediately.
  8. Add a layer of hummus or a sprinkle of roasted chickpeas for an extra boost of protein and flavor.
  9. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for 15-20 seconds per side before filling. This makes them more pliable and easier to roll without tearing.
