Need a quick, vibrant lunch that actually fuels you? This Roasted Beet and Avocado Wrap is a handheld powerhouse of flavor, color, and nutrition. Sweet roasted beets, creamy avocado, juicy tomatoes, tangy feta, and fresh greens all come together in a whole-grain wrap for a meal that’s satisfying, energizing, and ready in about 10 minutes (if your beets are pre-roasted!).

Ingredients

Scale

1 large whole-grain or spinach wrap/tortilla
1 small roasted beet, thinly sliced (or pre-cooked for speed)
½ ripe avocado, sliced or lightly mashed
¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1 tbsp crumbled feta cheese (or vegan alternative)
¼ cup microgreens or baby spinach
1 tsp sunflower seeds (toasted if desired)
Optional: drizzle of lemon juice or balsamic glaze

Optional spreads (“glue layer” for easier rolling): hummus, Greek yogurt, mashed avocado

Instructions

Warm the wrap: Place the tortilla in a dry skillet for 10–15 seconds per side to make it soft and pliable.
Add a base (optional): Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado, hummus, or Greek yogurt to help the fillings stick.
Layer the fillings: Off-center, add beet slices, avocado, cherry tomatoes, microgreens, and crumbled feta. Keep the pile tight for easy rolling.
Add crunch & flavor: Sprinkle sunflower seeds and drizzle with lemon juice or balsamic glaze, if using.
Roll it up: Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the edge nearest you. Apply gentle pressure to secure the wrap.
Serve: Slice diagonally for a beautiful presentation. Wrap tightly in parchment paper for later, or enjoy immediately.

Notes

Roasting beets: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap scrubbed beets in foil and roast 45–60 minutes until tender. Cool, peel, and slice.
Make ahead: Wrap tightly in parchment + foil; store in the fridge up to 24 hours.
Flavor twists:
- Green Goddess: Replace beets with roasted asparagus and feta with herbed goat cheese.
- Mediterranean: Add Kalamata olives and cucumber with hummus base.
- Protein-Packed: Include cooked quinoa, lentils, or chickpeas; or shredded chicken or salmon.
- Sweet & Smoky: Swap beets for roasted sweet potato; add chipotle mayo and pickled red onions.
- Vegan: Skip feta and use nutritional yeast with crushed walnuts; drizzle tahini-lemon sauce.
