Recipe Information:

• Makes 1 serving

• Total time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 large/burrito size tortilla (I used flour this time but I also love whole grain tortillas or veggie wraps!)

• 1/2 avocado, mashed

• 1/2 cup chickpeas, rinsed and mashed

• 3/4 cup dressed + tossed Caesar salad (I love this pre-packaged one! You can also just create a mixture of lettuce, parmesan cheese, crushed croutons, and Caesar dressing.)

• Optional Caesar add-ins: diced red onion, extra parmesan cheese, crushed croutons, etc.

• A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil

Recipe:

1. On a large plate, lay tortilla flat.

2. Mash avocado onto one side of the tortilla. On top of the avocado, mash chickpeas onto same side of the tortilla. Scoop salad mixture on top of same side, pushing down to pack in.

3. Using your best burrito rolling skills, carefully fold three sides of tortilla around the filling. Roll until all filling is wrapped inside (view video for help during this step!)

4. In a large pan over high heat, sear each side of the wrap, beginning with the flap side down and pressing with force, for 3-4 minutes per side. Each side of the wrap should be golden and crispy!

5. Remove from heat, allow to cool, and enjoy!

Nutrition:

• Avocado: HEART HEALTHY FATS!! Avocado contains lots of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (MUFAs and PUFAs), which reduce cholesterol and triglycerides.

• Chickpeas: chickpeas are a great plant-based protein option, packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals! They're full of manganese for metabolism and chemical bodily processes, folate for genetic material formation and digestion, copper for the nervous and immune systems, and iron for growth and development.

• Caesar salad: Caesar has a great mix of veggies, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients! It packs a great punch into this wrap.
