Creamy Avocado and Smoked Salmon Wrap
This creamy avocado and smoked salmon wrap is the perfect light and refreshing meal for lunch or dinner. The avocado is mashed with plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy and flavorful spread. The spread is then spread over whole wheat tortillas and topped with smoked salmon, baby spinach, red onion, and fresh cilantro. The wraps are then rolled up tightly and sliced in half. They can be served immediately or wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for later. These wraps are a great source of protein, healthy fats, and fiber.
The avocado and smoked salmon wrap is a relatively new creation, but it has quickly become a popular lunch and dinner option. The wrap is believed to have originated in California in the early 2000s. It is thought that a chef at a local restaurant was looking for a light and refreshing meal to add to the menu. He came up with the idea of combining avocado, smoked salmon, and baby spinach in a wrap. The wrap was an instant hit with customers and soon became a staple on the menu. From there, the wrap spread to other restaurants and cafes in California and eventually to the rest of the country.
