Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 large tortillas
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients by washing and drying the tortillas and gathering all other ingredients.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ripe mashed avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh lime juice, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no large avocado chunks.
- Lay out the tortillas flat on a clean cutting board or kitchen surface.
- Spread the avocado mixture evenly across each tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
- Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a compact cylindrical shape, ensuring the filling is secure inside.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the rolled tortillas diagonally into bite-sized pieces or leave whole depending on preference.
- Optional: For added freshness, garnish with chopped cilantro, additional lime zest, or a sprinkle of black pepper.
- Serve immediately at room temperature or chill briefly in the refrigerator for a cool, refreshing appetizer or light meal.
Tips
- Choose a perfectly ripe avocado - it should yield slightly when gently pressed but not feel mushy.
- Mix the avocado filling thoroughly to ensure a smooth, creamy consistency without large chunks.
- Use room temperature tortillas for easier rolling and to prevent cracking.
- Don't overfill the tortillas - leave a small border to make rolling easier and prevent spillage.
- For extra flavor, try adding fresh herbs like cilantro or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
- If preparing in advance, wrap the roll ups tightly in plastic wrap to keep them fresh and prevent drying out.
- Serve chilled for a refreshing summer snack or at room temperature for a quick anytime treat.
