Cali'flour Turkey Avocado Sandwich Wrap

[1 Serving: 1 Lean, 3 Green, 2 Condiment, 1 Fat]
1 Cali'LITE approved crust

~In a large non-stick skillet, cook Cali'flour Crust for 8-10 minutes then flip and cook for 5-8 minutes. (The crust should not be crispy but hold it's shape and foldable)


Avocado spread:
~ In a small mixing bowl combine 1-1/2 oz avocado with 1 Tbls Fage Yogurt and 1 wedge Light Laughing cow cheese. Mix until creamy and blended.
~Spread avocado mix over the crust. Then layer with 2 oz extra lean Turkey Deli slices and 1 oz Sargento's Reduced-fat shredded cheese.
~I opted to use lettuce on my wrap. (Per nutrition support There are 2 carbs in 1-1/2 cups of green leaf lettuce. I used 1 large leaf, so they said there wasn't enough to affect even a condiment used)
