Directions
Asparagus and Avocado Wraps, Although avocados are high in fat, 3/4 of their fat calories come from monounsaturated fat, which is the type that may help protect against coronary artery disease They also have 3x as much potassium as a banana So enjoy with out guilt this healthy recipe from The Mayo Clinic Williams Sonoma Cookbook , Super light and fresh! I loved this, but I’m thinking I would love it more with maybe some cayenne and a little chili powder mixed in with the rice mixture and then adding some grated carrot and minced red bell pepper for added color and a little more flavor I’m excited to make this recipe again on a hot summer day Thanks for sharing this healthy, unique and quick, keeper recipe!, Very good! Meat loving husband gave them 5 stars! I did use white rice and tortillas; this recipe made 4 wraps for us I don’t know how much asparagus used, just an average bunch from the grocery store I roasted the asparagus instead of steaming, and even so it was a little bit hard to eat, biting it out of the wrap like that Next time I may cut the asparagus into 1-2 inch sections?
