SPICY RICE, BEANS, AND AVOCADO WRAP

This recipe came up after scanning through the refrigerator and pantry one afternoon. I wanted something quick, healthy, spicy and delicious (not too much to ask I suppose 😉 ). I wasn’t in the mood for cooking that day (believe it or not!). Saw some leftover brown rice and immediately I thought of chipotle. We like their wraps with brown rice. Though this recipe is not the replica of chipotle, but I was somehow inspired to do something like that. So I did. My daughter LOVES this wrap. My husband said “It’s a keeper”. I personally love it too. The avocado and the sriracha sauce really did it for me. And pan frying it add that light crunch and that’s what my daughter likes about it. I’ve made it several time since then. The nice thing about wrap is, you can sub the ingredients with whatever you have or want and you have a nice fulfilling meal in no time.

There’s still room for improvement on how to drizzle the sauce if you ask me 😉
