These "open-faced wraps" get their kick from the adobo sauce in canned chipotle chiles. Quench the heat with a refreshing Cranberry-Açai Spritzer. Research on the health-promoting abilities of açai berries shows promise because they are rich in antioxidants, phytochemicals, anti-inflammatory substances, vitamins, and minerals.
