What’s Up, Hungry People?

Looking for a vegetarian option that’s a total crowd-pleaser? Whether you’re a dedicated herbivore or just love good food, these avocado roll-ups are the answer.

When hosting, it’s always smart to have options that cater to everyone, without compromising on flavor. These roll-ups are not only nutritious but are a hit with all taste buds!

To craft these delectable roll-ups, you’ll need a blend of sundried tomato and a creamy avocado sour cream combo. The addition of lemon and Hungarian paprika gives it that perfect tangy kick.

Here’s What You Need:

  • Spinach basil tortilla wraps: Base for the roll-ups, adds flavor and color.
  • Sundried tomatoes: Intense, concentrated tomato flavor and chewy texture.
  • Avocados: Creamy base for the spread, offers a rich, buttery taste.
  • Greek yogurt: Provides creaminess and tanginess, binds avocado mix.
  • Cheddar cheese: Melty, sharp flavor; adds a savory touch.
  • Cayenne pepper: Adds a spicy kick; boosts other flavors.
  • Hungarian paprika: Mild sweetness with a hint of warmth; color enhancer.
  • Lemon: Freshness and acidity; helps maintain avocado’s green color.
  • Cilantro: Fragrant herb that complements the spiciness; also used for garnish.
  • Salt & pepper: Seasoning to enhance and balance flavors.

Firstly, mash the avocado and yogurt together until you get a nice, smooth consistency. Now, here’s a little tip from your favorite self-taught chef: Always add the lemon juice after blending the avocado and yogurt. Why? Not only will it ensure the lemon doesn’t curdle the yogurt, but the lemon’s acid helps retain the vibrant green color of the avocado. Win-win!

Rolling it All Together

Here’s What You Need to layer next: spread the avocado mixture over the tortillas, sprinkle in the spices, toss in the cheese, and layer on the sundried tomatoes.

Once done, roll up those tortillas real tight and swaddle them in some foil. You could dive right in, but I recommend chilling them for a bit. Letting them cool down for an hour or so lets those rich flavors meld together even better. Patience is the key here!

Time to get slicing! Chop those rolls into one-inch segments. You’ll get about eight pieces from each tortilla. Hosting a bigger party? Simply double or triple the recipe to feed all those Hungry People!

However, here’s a little heads-up: try making these on the day you plan to serve them. Avocados, though lovely, can brown over time. They’ll still be a treat for the taste buds but might lose some of their visual charm. To finish it off, I added a hint of cayenne pepper and some fresh cilantro on top for that extra pop.

Sundried Tomato & Avocado Roll-Ups Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Soft to touch but not mushy; ensures creamy texture.
    • Tip: If your avocados aren’t ripe, store them in a brown paper bag for a day or two to speed up the ripening process.
  • Adjust spiciness: Cayenne is strong; adjust to your heat preference.
    • Note: You can always add more later, but you can’t take it out once mixed in.
  • Rolling the tortillas: Roll tightly to prevent fillings from falling out.
    • A loose roll might cause the fillings to spill out when cutting.
  • Storage: Best served fresh; avocado tends to brown over time.
    • If you must store, squeeze a little extra lemon juice over the mixture to reduce browning.
  • Cutting the rolls: Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
    • If you find the roll-ups squishing while cutting, chill them a bit longer.
