Avocado White Bean Wraps

Anything better then a summer meal you can make ahead? AND not turn on the oven or stove? Big winner right here.

Oh, wait.....it's vegetarian too! And has more has fiber then you'll know what to do with.

Not convinced yet?

They taste awesome. Plus, I'm a fan of any recipe that turns simple, super healthy ingredients into something absolutely craveable. I found these on eatingwell.com a few years ago and they've quickly become a favorite of family and friends. The chilies in adobo sauce has smoky flavor and is quite spicy. Keep this in mind and adjust quantities to suit your tastes. The recipe calls for only a small portion of what comes in the can. I recommend freezing the remaining chilies to make more wraps down the road, or this salad. It's also one of those ingredients that I can't always find at every grocery store, so will often buy 2 or 3 to have on hand. You'll thank me for the tip. Enjoy!
