Turkey, Apple and Brie Wrap

I was in need a quick lunch earlier this week and I wasn't in the mood for a plain sandwich, so I got the wheels in my head to turn a little. We still have brie in our fridge since it's our latest obsession, so naturally, I had to include it somehow. This little concoction was de---wait for it---lightful. De-lightful! (How I Met Your Mother reference...for those who aren't into that show :)) Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

Pizza Roll-Ups

I am terrible at making lunch. Most days I'm working all throughout the day and forget to make a lunch ahead of time, or just forget to eat all together. I know, it's a horrible habit. But after realizing I need food to keep me going throughout the day (because I get beyond exhausted around 2:00), I've been trying to find quick, healthy, and filling lunch ideas. These pizza roll-ups are pretty straightforward, but are a great, less than 5 minute meal. And it would be perfect for the kiddos!

White Bean Avocado Wraps

Wraps seem to be the big thing these days. The thin tortilla cuts back on carbs, while providing a creative foundation for any number of filling and flavor combinations. These avocado, bean, and slaw wraps get a flavor kick from the chili powder and sharp cheddar cheese. They are dense and filling, but their fresh, light feel makes them perfect for lunch or dinner. We like to make these on the go by packing up the fillings in separate sealed containers, then assembling them while we're out hiking or taking a picnic dinner to daddy when he's working late. (Sneak peek: I think they'd pair perfectly with today's other recipe - Sweet Potato Chips!)

White Bean Avocado Wraps
4 SERVINGS 
PREP: 20 minutes           COOK: 0 minutes            READY IN: 20 minutes

SIMPLE	HEALTHY	YUM

INGREDIENTS

---

• 2 cups shredded red cabbage
• 1 carrot, shredded
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon canola oil (or other mild-flavored oil) 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 (15-oz) can white beans
• 1 ripe avocado
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons minced red onion
• 4 whole wheat tortillas or wraps

DIRECTIONS

---

1. Combine shredded cabbage, carrot, and cilantro in a bowl. Whisk together the vinegar, oil, salt, and chili powder. Pour over cabbage mix and toss together.
2. In a separate bowl, mash white beans and avocado together to make a mostly smooth paste. Mix in the cheese and onion.
3. Assemble wraps by spreading the bean and avocado paste evenly over the top of a tortilla (leaving about 1/2 inch all around the sides). Spread an even layer of the cabbage slaw over the top, then roll the tortilla to make a wrap. Cut and serve.
