Bananacado and a Turkey Wrap


This is a mommy and me meal. First you make the bananacado for baby and then the wrap for you. I did not invent the term bananacado, I got it from my WTE friend Angie. Cam loves this and eats it often. There are never any leftovers.

Bananacado

1/2 banana mushed well, w/out lumps- just use a fork (mommy gets to eat the other half)
1/4 avocado mushed well, w/out lumps - just use a fork (mommy gets the rest!)
A squirt of lemon juice

I usually cut the avocado in half, cover the seed half with lemon juice and cover with plastic wrap to save for later. I then mush the other half. Microwave the banana for 30 seconds if you wish, that way it's nice and warm. Mix the banana and avocado mush, add the lemon juice. Make sure it's well mixed so it doesn't brown.

Turkey Wrap

Take some flat bread (we love Flat Out from Cosco) and spread the rest of the mushed avocado. This replaces mayo and is even creamier and better in my opinion. I add some mustard on top of that. Salt and pepper to taste. I put Tillamook medium cheddar on next, then halved grape tomatos, spring mix lettuce, and a big slice of turkey. Wrap up tight.

None of this is rocket science but I wanted to share this quick and easy combo because we love it and it's a good way to use up the avocado and to make sort of the same thing for both of us.
