These pinwheels can be made with homemade red lentil tortillas or keep the recipe raw by using zucchini ribbons.

Avocados possess anti-inflammatory compounds that have an aspirin-like quality without thinning the blood; this reduces narrowing and swelling of the digestive tract.

Avocado Veggie Pinwheels

Ingredients:

• 2 medium-sized avocados, pitted
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• Sea salt, to taste (optional)
• 1/4 cup tightly-packed shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup finely diced red, yellow, or orange bell pepper

Directions:

Make the red lentil tortillas (if using) or prepare the zucchini.

To make the filling, add the avocados, lemon juice, and sea salt (if using) to a medium-sized bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
