Instructions
- Prepare the avocado spread: In a small bowl, combine the mashed avocado with lime juice, Greek yogurt (or sour cream), salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a creamy and flavorful spread.
- Assemble the wraps: Lay out the whole wheat tortillas on a flat surface. Spread the avocado mixture evenly down the center of each tortilla to create a base layer.

- Garnish: Add fresh cilantro leaves on top for an extra burst of flavor, if desired.
- Roll the wraps: Fold in the sides of each tortilla and roll it up tightly to form a wrap, ensuring all the ingredients are securely enclosed.
- Serve: Slice each wrap in half and serve immediately, or wrap them in foil for a convenient meal on the go.
