When it’s just too hot to cook, a tasty wrap is always the answer. The dipping sauce is so good, you’re going to want to drizzle it on everything…

Recipe:

For the Wrap:

  • 4 tortillas of choice (I used spinach tortillas)

  • 1/4 cream cheese

  • 8-12 large shrimp, cooked and peeled

  • 1 mango, cubed

  • 12 asparagus spears, blanched

  • 1 cup (200g) cooked rice

  • Handful of baby spinach or arugula

Dressing:

  • Zest of one lime

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lime juice

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) cilantro or mint, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) sweet chili sauce

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) soy or tamari sauce

  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) fish sauce

  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive or avocado oil

  • 1 teaspoon (5ml) honey

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Place everything in a jar. Shake well to combine.

To assemble:

  1. Toast tortillas on both sides on the stove for a few minutes

  2. Spread cream into the wraps

  3. Spoon rice on one side, top with shrimp, asparagus, and mango

  4. Scatter the spinach on the remaining half of the tortillas

  5. Drizzle some dressing over the shrimp mixture

  6. Carefully roll the tortilla up and serve with extra dressing on the side
