Creamy avocado and white bean wrap (recipe in the comments)
Melon
Whole wheat tortilla chips and salsa (totally unnecessary)
______________________________________________________________
This is a new recipe from an article in Eating Well on no-cook supers. It's perfect for summer and sounded fantastic when it was in the mid-80s and sunny last week. Now that it's barely getting to70 each day, it seemed like maybe this would seem un-seasonal. We were pleasantly surprised in that regard. And even more pleasantly surprised with how WONDERFUL tasting this is. The recipe is dead on - a perfect blend of creamy and tart. It is also VERY filling. I ate two chips and one burrito and feel stuffed! The last, and potentially most wonderful this, is how truly easy this is. Ingredients to table in 20 minutes or less!
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Super easy
Chopping: Chipotle chile, cilantro, shallot
Time: 20 minutes
Make ahead: I would do this fresh.
Reaction
J: "Surprisingly heart and super yummy!"
M: "Hearty e zesty!"

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
The very special posts

To assemble the wraps, spread about ¼ of the bean-avocado mixture onto each tortilla and top with about ¼ of the cabbage-carrot slaw. Roll up. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Cut the wraps in half to serve, if desired.
