    Do you like tuna? I love to mix the flavored tuna packets (I think they are 15g of protein) with avocado and a slice of cheese. It's even better if you can warm it up on the stove so the cheese melts

    You should look on Pinterest ! That’s where I get most of my recipes!! Most of the recipes are so good! Although, I do read other people’s comments to see if they liked it before trying it myself!

    Tuna with light mayo. Add pickles, tomato and lettuce. Along with a wheat low carb wrap it comes to about 200 calories

    I use chicken a lot. Little bit of paprika and garlic salt, or cajun spice on the meat and wok it with a load of peppers, onions, veg, mushroom - whatever you like. Or add salad after.
    Nice hot or cold and take around 10 mins to cook the chicken through

    or as others have said, tuna mayonnaise. I add spring onions for crunch and flavour. :)

    I used the whole wheat wraps, put a little tzatziki, provolone, sliced turkey, sliced tomato and some spinach. Voila! (Don't make these too far in advance otherwise the tzatziki makes the wrap a little mushy.

    I take a garden salad with either chicken or tuna and throw it in a wrap. Although I try and watch how often i do this since the wrap is usually 150 calories for the large whole wheat wraps so that's a killer right there.

    I make wraps for lunch almost every day at work. They're one of those foods that's customizable enough that I don't get bored of them, and I love them enough to eat them all the time! My local store brand has a whole wheat tortilla that's 110 calories, and I push them to the limits for how many veggies I can get in them.

    Some of my favorite combinations:
    -Deli turkey with red pepper hummus, lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber.
    -Grilled chicken, romaine, parmesan, and Caesar dressing
    -Refried beans, cheese, salsa, lettuce, and sour cream (OK, more of a taco... but it's still delicious! I throw everything in a bowl and wrap it up at work)
    -Veggie wrap with green peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, beans, and Italian dressing.

    I love adding black beans or pinto beans to them to up the protein, and I play around with different sauces to make them not boring. I use a lot of spicy mustard, balsamic vinegar, and lite salad dressings and just add them at work to keep them from being soggy.

    I make omelette wraps - a two egg omelette (with fillings of your choice) fits perfectly into a wrap.

    I made this tuna salad (no mayo) recipe today and put it in a wrap with some mixed greens and tomato, and it was delicious! It came out to 30g of protein and 350 calories for the wrap, but I also ate the entire salad instead of just 1 serving.

    Been really liking lettuce wraps lately. I cook up lean ground turkey with onion and garlic and finely chop up mushrooms, sauté them up and mix them with the turkey. You can add a little bit of coconut aminos to act as the soy sauce (but you can definitely use regular soy sauce). Then I put them into big pieces of lettuce and wrap them up. You can definitely add more veggies and sriracha is yummy on the top for a little spice! They are good hot or cold!

    Several years ago, I worked in a small town with a coffee shop that served awesome lunch sandwiches and wraps. One of my favorites was their veggie...a spinach wrap, slathered in hummus, with leaf lettuce, tomato, onion, cucumbers and mushrooms. Served with pretzel crisps!

    I love using rice paper instead of wraps. All the same fillings but fewer cals spent on the "vehicle" = more protein + veg!
