Pesto and Tabbouleh Wrap

While this recipe makes enough for more than one wrap, you will totally dig the ease in making this. I was able to whip both the pesto and tabbouleh up in just a few minutes. And trust me, a few free minutes are a struggle with two babies to look after.  So kudos to me for being awesome and healthy today and kudos to you for joining in on it. 

Pesto:

6 oz fresh basil (stems removed)

Juice of 1/2 lemon

3 tbsp nutritional yeast

2 tsp coarse sea salt

1/2 cup raw pine nuts

3 tbsp EVOO 

3 garlic cloves, minced

Tabbouleh:

1 organic beefsteak tomato, guts removed and diced

1/2 organic cucumber, peeled,guts removed and diced

1 avocado, diced (A Kinder Katie addition)

1/4 cup diced red onion

1 large handful parsley, chopped 

1 handful mint, chopped

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1-2 tbsp olive oil 

3 tbsp raw hulled hemp seeds

Cracked Black pepper (a few good turns)

Sea salt (just a pinch)

1/2 cup organic BPA free canned chickpeas ( A Kinder Katie addition)

Whole Wheat Lavash Wraps ( these are the best I can find in my area that are not chock full of preservatives and additives)

Directions:

1.) In a food processor, combine garlic, basil, nutritional yeast, sea salt, lemon juice and pine nuts. Turn on food processor and slowly add in olive oil as it blends together. 

2.) In a mixing bowl, combine above ingredients for tabbouleh. Nothing fancy about this step other than prep your items and mix, mix, mix! 

3.) With your lavash wrap laid flat, scoop a healing spoonful of pesto onto your wrap and spread out. Top with a cupful of tabbouleh. Roll up burrito style and cut in half. Share with a loved one or eat it all by your own awesome self.

* a few things to remember in accordance to A Kinder Katie Principles: 

1.) Yes, the ingredients I list as organic should always be organic due to the pesticides in conventional produce. Follow EWG's Dirty Dozen here for more info: http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/list.php .

2.) Never, ever buy canned items unless you know for a fact that they are not lined with BPA. Treat any canned item as harmful to your health unless the can specifically states BPA Free or you call the company's customer service number and confirm that they do not use BPA in their products. That $hit is whack. I spend the extra $$ for convenience and buy Eden Organic brand beans. Or make them yourself. 

Holla.*
