Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, mash 1/2 medium ripe avocado (about 75g) with 1 tablespoon (15ml) lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon sea salt until creamy but still slightly chunky.

How do I scale Core Strengthening Avocado Chickpea Salad Wrap for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
