AVOCADO, BACON AND SHRIMP WRAPS



Avocado, Bacon and Shrimp Wraps image

I found this recipe last year in the Chicago Tribune and have made it several times since then. It's best to use a good, smoky bacon and I prefer the lavash bread to the flour tortillas, but that's just a personal taste. Also, I usually buy the cooked shrimp when it's on sale at my store, which makes this even easier. I make one of these up in the evening, wrap in plastic wrap and throw it in my lunch bag in the morning to take to work.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large lavash flat bread or 2 large flour tortillas
2 tablespoons mayonnaise, regular or low-fat, or amount to your taste (I use more)
4 leaves lettuce
1 avocado, peeled, pitted, sliced
1 tomatoes, sliced
1/2 lb shrimp, cooked and peeled
4 slices cooked bacon

Steps:

  • Spread the flatbreads or tortillas with mayonnaise. Lay a lettuce leaf on each; top each with avocado and tomato slices. Divide the shrimp and bacon evenly among the sandwiches; top each with the remaining lettuce. Roll the flatbread to make a tight cylinder.
  • If made ahead, wrap well in plastic wrap and refrigerate. I've only kept them as long as the next day, for lunch so don't know how well they'd keep any longer than that.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest ingredients: Use ripe avocados, crisp lettuce, and succulent shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque, to prevent them from becoming tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of toppings: In addition to the basic ingredients, consider adding other toppings such as diced tomatoes, crumbled cheese, or sliced almonds for extra flavor and texture.
  • Make it a meal: Serve the shrimp and avocado wraps with a side salad or soup for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • Get creative: Feel free to experiment with different flavor combinations and ingredients. For example, you could try using grilled chicken or tofu instead of shrimp, or adding a spicy sauce or dressing.

Conclusion:

Shrimp and avocado wraps are a delicious, healthy, and versatile meal or snack that can be easily customized to your liking. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give shrimp and avocado wraps a try!
