California Wraps

Serves 6

Avocado Mixture*
1 med. ripe avocado, seeded
1 t. fat-free sour cream
1/2 t. lemon juice
1/8 t. salt

1 lg. tomato, seeded & diced
6 t. thinly sliced green onions w/ tops
6 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
6-12 large lettuce leaves
8 oz. thinly sliced reduced-fat deli smoked turkey
1 pkg. (4 oz) salad sprouts
6 T. shredded cheddar cheese

*1 container (6-oz) frozen avocado dip, thawed, can be substituted for the avocado mixture. I found some preservative free guacamole in the produce section of Wal-Mart that I used.

1. In small bowl, mash avocado & stir in sour cream, lemon juice, and salt.
2. Top each tortilla with avocado mixture and spread. Cover with 1 or 2 lettuce leaves, pressing lightly. Place one slice turkey over lettuce. Top evenly with 1/2 c. salad sprouts, 2 t. tomato, 1 T. green onion, and 1 T. cheese.
3. Roll each tortilla up tightly. Cut each wrap diagonally in half. Serve. (Wraps can be prepared & refrigerated up to 3 hours in advance.)

This is from The Pamperd Chef's It's Good For You cookbook. It would be great as a lunch or at a party. --Keri
