¼ cup nonfat plain yogurt
3 (8-inch) whole wheat flour tortillas

Steps

  1. Scrub and rinse radishes and carrots. Rinse salad greens. Pat all veggies dry.

  9. Warm 1 tortilla in the microwave for 30 seconds, or longer as needed.
  10. Place warm tortilla on a cutting board. Spread 1/3 avocado mixture over center of tortilla. Layer with 1/3 greens, 1/3 grated veggies, and 1/3 cheese. Squeeze more lemon juice over the mixture.
  11. Roll tortilla and toppings into a log shape. Tuck in the ends. Use a knife to slice wrap into four sections.
  12. Repeat process for the other 2 tortillas. You will end up with a total of 12 sections.
