Edamame Wraps

Edamame Wraps

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Start to Finish Time: 15 minutes

¼ cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sugar
10 to 12-ounces frozen shelled edamame
1 cup shredded carrot
½ cup cashew nuts, pieces
Washed fresh basil leaves (if desired)
4 (12-inch) spinach tortillas

1. In a large mixing bowl, add rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, and sugar, stirring well to mix.

2. Add edamame, carrot, and cashews, tossing gently to coat with the dressing.

3. Place a few basil leaves (if using) onto center third of each tortilla. Divide the edamame and carrot mixture evenly between the 4 tortillas. Tuck in the ends and roll up the wraps. Serve immediately.

Note: You can substitute ½ cup of bottled low fat sesame ginger dressing, like “Newman's Own,” for the first 5 ingredients.
