Aren't these pretty? It's rather difficult to make something as goopy as egg salad to resemble anything close to pretty.
The recipe asked to make the egg salad and the avocado goop separate. I assembled one wrap and then ended up combining the avocado with the egg salad.
I'm all about simplifying. Next time I will just throw it all in together.
The chilies are not spicy at all, they add a wonderful flavor. These were mighty tasty!

Debby, this looks so great! Avocado and eggs in wholewheat wrap...marvelous!
ReplyDeleteSo what were your thoughts on the eggs with the lime? I tried an egg salad with lemon a while back and ick. I just didn't dig that citrus/egg combo in that. Wondering how this one stacked up?? Looks good, for sure =)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about lime with eggs, it's interesting. It does look good though!
ReplyDeleteAvocado and egg are wonderful together. But I'm curious about lime with egg too.
ReplyDeleteDebbi, I've told you this before...I like that you have so many ideas for tortillas!
There is so little lime that it wasn't overpowering in it at all. All the flavors really complemented each other and were quite delicious. Trust me, this was a keeper! :-)
ReplyDeleteavocado and egg were just meant to go together, weren't they? and with that Mexican flare...over the top! YUM!
ReplyDeletei left a comment twice and im not sure it went thru. 3rd times a charm right?

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at the hearth and soul hop.
Being that I live so close to Mexico, and certainly have a heavy Mexican influence in my community, I find it odd that I've never heard of this combo before. It sounds great. Thanks for sharing this one with the Hearth and Soul hop.
