Although it’s almost the end of the blueberry season and I haven’t made any scrumptious blueberry baked goods, I’m sticking to my healthy promise and using my first batch of blueberries in a savory recipe – blueberry guacamole. Actually, it’s really good for you – just think about the incredible amount of antioxidants in blueberries, the heart-healthy fat in avocados, and the metabolism raising properties of the capsaicin in jalapenos. If you’re looking for a fresh twist on your classic mexican dip, try this recipe – it’s well-balanced, sweet, creamy, and spicy.
Blueberry Guacamole and Turkey Wrap
For guacamole (makes 3 cups):
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 medium onion, very finely diced
- 2 c. fresh wild blueberries
- 2 TBS fresh lime juice
- 1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely diced
- kosher salt
For wraps (makes 1):
- 1/4 cup blueberry guacamole
- 1 flour tortilla
- 2 oz. sliced, smoked turkey
- 1 oz. (approx. 1 TBS) goat cheese
- Slice avocado in half lengthwise, working in a circle around pit, and pull halves apart. Remove pit and discard. Scrape avocado flesh into a medium bowl and mash with lime juice. Stir in very finely chopped onion and jalapeno, and blueberries. If you can’t get small wild blueberries, you may want to puree or mash half of the larger berries before mixing in. Season to taste with kosher salt.
- Place a tortilla open on counter. Spread with a thin layer of goat cheese, top with turkey slices, and spread guacamole over center of turkey. Roll up and enjoy!
