Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wrap

From Eat Healthy Your Way: Summer 2011

White beans mashed with ripe avocado and blended with sharp Cheddar and onion makes a rich, flavorful filling for this wrap. The tangy, spicy slaw adds crunch. A pinch of ground chipotle pepper and an extra dash of cider vinegar can be used in place of the canned chipotles.

Creamy Avocado & White Bean Wrap Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped canned chipotle chile 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
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1⁄2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons minced red onion
  • 4 8- to 10-inch whole-wheat wraps or tortillas

Preparation

  1. Whisk vinegar, oil, chipotle chile and salt in a medium bowl. Add cabbage, carrot and cilantro; toss to combine.
  2. Mash beans and avocado in another medium bowl with a potato masher or fork. Stir in cheese and onion.
  3. To assemble the wraps, spread about 1⁄2 cup of the bean-avocado mixture onto a wrap (or tortilla) and top with about 2⁄3 cup of the cabbage-carrot slaw. Roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut the wraps in half to serve, if desired.

Tips & Notes

  • Ingredient Note: Chipotle chiles in adobo sauce are smoked jalapeños packed in a flavorful sauce. Look for the small cans with the Mexican foods in large supermarkets. Once opened, they’ll keep at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator or 6 months in the freezer.
