TIPS
- Use Ripe Avocado: Ensure the avocado is soft enough to mash smoothly without lumps.
- Customise The Heat: Choose mild or hot salsa based on your spice preference.
- Tortilla Size Matters: Use a small tortilla for snack-size wraps or a larger one for a fuller meal.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare the ingredients separately and assemble just before eating to maintain freshness.
VARIATIONS
- Add Protein: Include black beans, tofu slices or tempeh for added protein.
- Go Crunchy: Add shredded carrots, sliced radish or cucumber for extra texture.
- Creamy Upgrade: Mix in a squeeze of lime or a pinch of garlic powder into the avocado.
- Wrap To Bowl: Skip the tortilla and layer everything into a bowl for a grain-free salad.
- Cheesy Finish: Add a slice of vegan cheese before rolling for a creamy and melty bite.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigerator Storage: Wrap tightly in parchment or foil and store in the fridge for up to 12 hours. Best eaten fresh.
- Tortilla Tip: Store extra tortillas in the fridge in a sealed bag to keep them soft.
- Avoid Freezing: This recipe is not suitable for freezing due to the avocado’s texture after thawing.
