    1/4 cup (60 mL) reduced-fat vegan mayonnaise 4 oz (115 g) extra-firm light silken tofu 1/2 small garlic clove, crushed 1/8 to 1/4 tsp (0.5 to 1 mL) chipotle chili powder 4 large whole wheat or sprouted wheat tortilla wraps 1/4 to 1/2 cup (60 to 125 mL) fruit chutney (optional) 3 cups (750 mL) baby salad greens 8 oz (225 g) smoked tofu, thinly sliced and cut into slivers 2 cups (500 mL) fresh cantaloupe, peach, nectarine, or mango, thinly sliced

    To make Chipotle Cream purée mayonnaise, tofu, garlic, and chipotle powder until very smooth in blender or with stick/immersion blender. Refrigerate in covered jar until ready to use.

    When ready to fill wraps, toast each tortilla on one side only in heavy, dry skillet over high heat for a few seconds, just to soften. Remove immediately and toast next tortilla. It takes only a couple of minutes to toast all 4 tortillas.

    Spread the untoasted side of each tortilla, almost to edges, with about 3 Tbsp (45 mL) chipotle cream. If using optional chutney, also spread with 1 to 2 Tbsp (15 to 30 mL).

    Evenly divide salad greens, slivered smoked tofu, and fruit slices evenly between 4 tortillas, piling them down centre of wrap, leaving about 2 in (5 cm) uncovered on end closest to you. Fold up that end and fold over sides firmly to make a roll that is closed on the bottom and open on top.

    Cut roll in half diagonally. You’ll need plenty of napkins!

    Serves 4.

    Breakfast: Sweet Potato and Spinach Egg Bites

    Egg bites are a delicious and convenient way to get some protein in the mornings. These ones get an extra nutrition boost with antioxidant-rich sweet potato and spinach. Using grated sweet potato ensures all of the ingredients cook evenly during the baking time. Once you’ve made these—and tasted their goodness—they’ll become an easy addition to your breakfast repertoire. Reheat and repeat While these egg bites go together in a minute, you can also make them ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat when you’re ready to eat them. Five minutes in the air fryer on the reheat setting at 325 F (160 C) will do it nicely. Or place them on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for about 2 minutes.
