Meatless Monday – Creamy Avocado and White Bean Wrap

050712 AVOCADO WHITE BEAN WRAP 7

This is something I found on EatingWell a few years ago and something Mr. Foodie and I enjoy at least once a year.  As soon I realized Avocado’s were on sale at Aldi I knew they would make the rotation again.

Creamy Avocado White Bean Wraps

slightly adapted from EatingWell

  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar (I use Red Wine Vinegar)
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle in adobo sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 15 ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 rip avocado
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • tortilla’s

Whisk vinegar, oil, chipotle and salt in medium bowl.  **I freeze my Chipotle’s in Adobo.  Whenever I open a new can I freeze the contents in Tablespoon’s worth on a sheet of wax paper that is rolled up tight and stuck in a freezer bag.  They’ll last almost forever like this…or so *they* say.  We go through ours pretty quick. :)

Add cabbage, carrot and cilantro.

Toss to combine.

Mash beans and avocado with fork or potato masher in separate bowl.  Stir in cheese and onion.   **Somehow I forgot to take pics of this part.

Spread bean/avocado mixture across wraps…I used Spinach Wraps this day.  Top with slaw mixture.

Roll up and serve.

So FAST!

So EASY!

So TASTY!

    Nice, looks like you’ve got some good crunch going on in that & anything with avocado in it is a winner.

      Aldi had avocado’s on sale last week so all this week I’ll be rolling out all the different ways I used them. I think Mr. Foodie and I have gotten our fill of them for a while!

        I tried this for lunch today and it was delicious! Thanks for the tip about freezing the chipotles. That’s a much better approach than leaving the remainder of the can in the fridge until it goes bad.

        I’m SO glad you liked it! And glad the tip on the chipotle’s was helpful!
