How to Make Asparagus And Avocado Wraps

1. Bring 2 inches of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat.
2. Place 1 pound asparagus spears in a steamer basket set over the boiling water. Cover and steam until tender-crisp, about 6-8 minutes.
3. Remove asparagus and immediately rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain thoroughly.
4. In a small bowl, mash 1 ripe avocado with 1 tablespoon lime juice and 1 clove minced garlic until a coarse puree forms.
5. In another small bowl, gently combine 1 cup cooked rice (any variety) with 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt.
6. Heat a large dry frying pan over medium heat.
7. Warm 4 large flour tortillas in the hot pan for about 20 seconds per side, until softened.
8. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over each tortilla.
9. Top each tortilla with 1/2 cup of the rice mixture, 1/4 of the steamed asparagus, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
10. Fold in both sides and the bottom of each tortilla over the filling, then roll tightly to enclose.
11. If preparing ahead, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour. Bring to room temperature before serving.
12. Cut each wrap in half crosswise before serving.
