Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• 2 ripe avocados
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt or mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup diced red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 4 whole wheat or spinach tortillas
• Optional: a handful of mixed greens

Cooking Method

1. Boil the Eggs: Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, then cover and remove from heat. Let the eggs sit for about 9-12 minutes. Drain and cool them under cold running water or in an ice bath. Peel and chop the eggs.

2. Prepare the Avocado Mix: In a large bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Add lemon juice, Greek yogurt (or mayonnaise), and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine.

3. Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped eggs, red onion, and cilantro to the avocado mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are well combined.

4. 

   Assemble the Wraps: Place a tortilla on a flat surface. If desired, layer a handful of mixed greens on the tortilla first. Spoon a generous amount of the avocado and egg salad mixture onto the center of the tortilla.

5. Wrap It Up: Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling, then roll it up from the bottom to the top. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Nutritional Value and Pairings

Avocado and Egg Salad Wraps are a powerhouse of nutrients. Eggs provide high-quality protein and are rich in essential vitamins like B12 and D. Avocados are loaded with healthy fats, fiber, and vital nutrients like potassium and vitamin K. This combination makes for a meal that's not only delicious but also beneficial for heart health and digestion.

To round out your meal, consider serving these wraps with a crunchy side salad like a cucumber and tomato salad or a light coleslaw. For drinks, a refreshing iced green tea or a sparkling water with a splash of lime complements the flavors wonderfully. For a slightly decadent touch, pair your wrap with a chilled glass of Chardonnay or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc for a perfect lunch treat.
