Asparagus and Avocado Wraps
24 spears asparagus
1 ripe avocado, pitted and peeled
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups cooked cold white rice |
3 tablespoons plain nonfat yogurt
3 whole wheat tortillas, 10 inches in diameter
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons chopped red onion |
In a medium-sized saucepan over high heat, bring 2 inches
water to a boil. Place the asparagus in a steamer basket, cover, and steam
until just tender, approximately 5 minutes. Remove the asparagus and immediately
rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly. In a
small bowl, mash the avocado, lime juice, and garlic into a coase puree.
In another small bowl, stir together the rice and yogurt
to mix well.
Heat a large dry frying pan (not one with a nonstick surface)
over medium heat. One at a time, heat the tortillas in the hot pan until
softened, approximately 20 seconds per side.
Lay the tortillas flat on a clean work surface. Spread
the avocado mixture equally among the tortillas. Top each with an equal
amount of the rice mixture, asparagus, cilantro, and onion.
Fold in both sides and the bottom of each tortilla up
over the filling; then roll to close. If made in advance, cover with plastic
wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour.
Return to room temperature before serving. To serve,
cut each wrap in half crosswise.
Makes 6 servings.
