Avocado Caprese Wrap

Whether its a celebratory lunch for a crowd or just a quick bite for one, making Avocado Caprese Wraps are a filling and healthy way to take a bite out of summer.

I’m guessing I’m like a lot of you round about this time of summer. Fresh flavors are being craved by my taste buds sending shockwaves of recipe ideas to my hot little head. But with the daydreams of swimsuits and pool time on this hot, dry days, lighter fare is always on my mind.

I don’t know if I will ever tire of the classic caprese. Salads, sandwiches, pastas. You could turn this thing into a taco or french toast and I’d eat it. Weak in the knees. It’s what I’ve become. Prepare to see more.

And now, this wrap. It tingles my palate.

I could eat one of these every day. In fact, I have. At least for 3 of the past 5. That’s fair odds in my book. And shows my sincere caprese dedication.

When Avocados from Mexico asked me to come up with a recipe to share with their readers, it really wasn’t much of a stretch for me to pull out my tomatoes and mozz and doctor it up with sweet balsamic and creamy avocados. You should think about it. Oh but why just think about it? Just go ahead and make it.

While I was linking up my recipe for today’s post I discovered their newly redesigned recipe section. It’s pretty cool, more Pinterest-style in its display, so finding recipes—several from more food bloggers—is visual and easy to scroll through. More avocado recipes to love…

So.

While I usually do my round up of favorites each Friday, I’m taking a pass for this week because I have something even better to share with you for next week.

Keep your eyes peeled on Facebook, Twitter and the blog for the announcement of the next issue of FoodieCrush magazine set to go live next week, hot  off the presses, er, on the web. Get ready to kick your feet up in an air conditioned room, pour yourself a cool glass of cucumber water and chill out to some great food blogger fodder, photography and recipes.

Until then, have a great weekend friends. Make it a safe one and cook something good.

I was compensated by Avocados from Mexico for recipe development. Thanks for reading and supporting my partners which allows me to create new and special content like this for my you. Please keep in touch by subscribing to FoodieCrush and follow me on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. As always, all opinions are my own.

  19. This. Looks. Amazing.

    You want to know my favorite part? I DON’T HAVE TO TURN ON THE OVEN! (or stove, or microwave). And you’re so right, something about the caprese-combo… like it was sent straight from heaven.

    (I totally recognize that balsamic bottle, btw, I’ve got the same one in my pantry!)

    Also, I totally just scrolled back up mid-sentence to stare lovingly at your photo.

  • My best friend is one of the most enthusiastic people I know. She is a PhD. She is a dreamer. She is a CEO. She is an avid, and I mean AVID animal rescuer. She travels, she mentors, she’s curious, she’s beautiful, she loves mimosas, and in business and in life, she is the ultimate planner. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And my best friend has Stage 4 Metastatic HER2 Positive Breast Cancer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wait. Hold up. This is not part of @kfinger13 ’s plan. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She is just one of the reasons I’m happy to partner with @krogerco to create this organic, plant-based soup with loads of flavor and at Kim’s request. Because 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, @krogerco has created the #SharingCourage program and generated $36 million to support breast cancer education, services and research, with an additional $1 million to be donated in 2018. I’m sharing more of Kim’s story and the recipe over on the blog. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But before you head over there, I want to know how cancer has affected you and those you love. We are all in this together and can only make change and create a better life when we share our own. So please, share your story, big or small, in the comments below. #ad #sharingcourage ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ https://www.foodiecrush.com/curry-lentil-soup-butternut-squash-greens/ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #foodiecrush #foodiecrusheats #soup #vegetarian #breastcancerawareness #vegetarianrecipes #stew @simpletruth4u #simpletruthorganic
