Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, salt, and honey (or other sweetener). Add cabbage and carrots. Toss. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce. To a medium bowl, add the peanut butter, Tamari, 2 tablespoons lime juice, rice vinegar, honey (or other sweetener), and Sriracha. Stir with a whisk 1-2 minutes until creamy. Taste and add additional Sriracha if desired. Set aside.
- Slice your avocado and prep the mint, basil, and lettuce if you haven't already.
- Add about 1/2 inch of warm water to an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish or a pie pan. Place one rice paper wrapper in the water and submerge. Let sit for about 1 minute, until soft.
- Carefully transfer the rice paper wrapper to your clean kitchen counter or cutting board. At this point, I like to put another rice paper wrapper in the water to soak while I'm assembling so it's ready to go when I'm done with the previous one. To assemble, place a couple of mint leaves in a short vertical line just left of center, then top with a couple of slices of avocado. Then, place 1/8 cup or so of the cabbage and carrots inside a lettuce leaf then place the veggies just right of center. Top with two or three of basil leaves.
- To roll, bring the right side of the wrapper toward the center, then fold the top and bottom in toward the middle. Finish by bringing the left side toward the center, pulling as tightly as you can without ripping. The rice paper should stick to itself and voila! A summer roll! Repeat until all 8 rolls are assembled.
- Cut rolls in half, if desired, and serve with the dipping sauce.

Steps:
- Slice your avocado in half. Rub the extra half with lime juice, cover and stick in the fridge for later use. Or make 4 wraps and use the whole thing. Remove the pit and slice into long thick strips. Set aside in a bowl and coat in lime juice and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Slice your onion and tomato. Place in separate bowl and toss with the EVOO, maple syrup, splash of lime juice and apple cider vinegar (or more lime juice). Note, you can also use lemon juice if you'd prefer.
- Grab your bean/nut spicy spread. See above recipe for options. I used a chipotle hummus dip mixed with a splash of lime juice to thin it out a bit.
- Warm your tortillas in the oven until they are soft and pliable.
- Spread a nice amount of your spread onto the wrap.
- Add about 4 long slices of avocado, a few slices of tomato, onion, shredded carrots and a pinch of pepper. You can add an extra splash of the veggie marinade juices (maple/EVOO/lime) if you'd like. I actually whipped the extra marinade with a Tbsp of Vegenaise to make a wrap sauce on the side. Yum.
- Carefully roll up your wrap and fold in a paper towel to make it easier to slice.
- Serve! Sprinkle a few pumpkin seeds on top if you'd like.
SOUTH FLORIDA AVOCADO SUMMER WRAP
I wish I'd had this when I was younger growing up in Miami. Vegan and full of flavor. It's all about the flavor! If you don't have spicy hummus, just add a little chipotle in adobe sauce or some sriracha sauce to regular hummus(and maybe a splash of lemon or lime juice to thin it out). For a change try mixing the mayo with a little Thai sweet chili sauce.

You can add the mayo now(it's good mixed with a little of the veggie marinade juice or use the mayo/veggie juice mix as a dip for the wraps). Add alfalfa sprouts now if using(also good with lentil sprouts).

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Look for avocados that are dark green or nearly black in color, with a slight give when you gently squeeze them.
- Prepare the avocados properly: Cut the avocados in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Mash the avocado flesh with a fork or blend it in a food processor until smooth.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the taste of your wraps. Use fresh, ripe vegetables, flavorful cheeses, and lean proteins.
- Don't overstuff the wraps: Keep the wraps relatively thin so that they're easy to roll and eat. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to handle and may fall apart.
- Experiment with different flavors: There are endless possibilities when it comes to filling your wraps. Try different combinations of vegetables, proteins, and cheeses to find your favorite flavor combinations.
