Avocado Tortillas with salad and bean filling
About:
I love how easy Mexican food is to prepare and it’s a joy to make because I know my family is going to love it. These tortillas are going to be perfect for some quick quesadillas or wraps. I used avocado which gives flavour and soft texture to the tortillas. Homemade tortillas are super easy, can make them ahead and cover with foil to avoid the dryness.
I stuffed these tortillas with fresh salads and beans. These wraps are a great healthy and delicious way to enjoy nutritious beans and fresh salad.
