Avocado Tuna Wraps

The perfect spring anytime meal!

The very best, quickest, crunchy yummy, heart healthy, protein packed light and filling wrap you’ll ever eat!

Tuna and avocado are heart healthy foods, and the addition of crunchy carrots and baby spinach make it a great vegetable source as well.

Total prep time? Under 15 minutes. (Take some of the prep work out by buying pre-shredded carrots, pre-diced celery and pre-diced onions.) The lemon juice adds great flavor, and keeps the avocado from turning brown.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the ‘fridge. If you take it to work, pack the tortilla, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach and avocado tuna mixture each in their own containers. Assemble it right before you eat it to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.

Prepare for your taste buds to be amazed!!!!
