Is anyone else getting really excited about fall?? I just canโt wait for pumpkins and scarves and boots and hot chocolate and apples everywhere. Plus fall means one step closer to Christmas!! (No I am not insane for thinking about Christmas in August. Iโm just really spiritual. Christmasly spiritual, that is.) Last year I became slightly obsessed with adding pumpkin to everything, so weโll see what this fall brings.
But before we actually get into September, the official start of fall in my book, here is one more light summer dish. These wraps make a quick lunch that is definitely healthier than peanut butter and jelly. (Please tell me Iโm not the only one who eats my toddlerโs food after she rejects it??) It has veggies and everything, something I usually donโt get during lunch. You can add or subtract pretty much anything you wantโIโve added beans, jalapeรฑos, peperoncinis before, or you could even try halved grapes or pineapple chunks. It is versatile and delicious. Enjoy!
Quick Lunch Wraps with Cream Cheese and Avocado
Source: my friend Becca
Makes 1 wrap
1 tortilla (I like whole wheat)
1 tablespoon light cream cheese
2-4 slices ham or turkey
1/4-1/3 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, pepper jack is good too)
1-3 tablespoons chopped tomato
1-3 tablespoonsย chopped red bell pepper
3-4 slices of avocado
Spread the cream cheese down the middle of the tortilla. Top with the rest of the ingredients in whatever order you want. Roll up and enjoy!
No, you are not crazy, I have been thinking about Christmas for the last few weeks non-stop!! Yay for holidays!
