California Wraps

It's that time of year again, softball season!  I don't know about you, but this time of year starts out to be really crazy for my family.  This is a great and quick dinner for those nights that you are out running (like the ball park perhaps?).  You can make these ahead and pack a little picnic, or enjoy them at home.  My sister and Ryan both gave these an 8 or 9.  For a low calorie wrap, they are delicious!

Prep Time: 20 minutes
240 calories

1 large tomato, diced
6 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions with tops
1 medium ripe avocado, seeded *(see notes)
1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 (8-inch) fat-free tortillas
6-12 large lettuce leaves
8 ounces thinly sliced reduced-fat deli smoked turkey
1 package (4 ounces) salad sprouts
6 tablespoons shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

1.  Dice tomato and slice the green onions.  Using an avocado peeler, cut avocado in half lengthwise; remove seed and cut flesh away from skin.  Place avocado in a bowl and mash.  Stir in sour cream, lemon juice, and salt.

2.  Using a scoop, top each tortilla with a level scoop of avocado mixture; spread to within 1/4 inch of edge using a spreader.  Cover with one or two lettuce leaves, pressing lightly.  Place one slice of turkey over lettuce.  Top evenly with 1/2 cup of sprouts; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons tomato and 1 tablespoon each green onion and cheese.

3.  Roll up each tortilla tightly.  Cut each wrap diagonally in half with knife.

* If desired, you can use 1 container (6 ounces) of avocado dip instead of a fresh avocado.  I like to use the Lighthouse, avocado dip, with mild jalapenos.  It gives this just the right amount of kick.

* Wraps can be prepared in advance.  Wrap tortillas individually in plastic wrap and place in fridge for us to 3 hours.
