Wraps

Mygsds

I have been experimenting with wraps lately and wondering what kind of things do you put in yours? To me they are very filling and so versatile and portable...

Any type of meat sliced thinly and lots of veggies. I want to experiment more with fruits and stuff, but haven't had the courage. If you like doing wraps, you should try pitas. They have half the calories of a tortilla.

My favorite is avocado, shredded cabbage, tuna, and pickled baby corn (I was starving, but it turned out good). I like the Ortega whole wheat wraps because they are pretty low sodium. My grocery store doesn't have the best selection though.

Black beans are a great addition to almost any wrap!

Mygsds

Thank you. All great ideas. Never thought about baby corn but I can see that would be something my husband would LOVE..

I love a good breakfast wrap with lots of veg in it - great any time of day and not just breakfast

Chicken salad- made w/greek yogurt, halved grapes, almonds, celery and mandrin oranges - sounds odd but delish

throw some griled fish, again greek yogurt, cilantro, lime juice and cabbage

Mygsds

Thanks much...

Scrambled eggs, spinach, cheese and salsa
Tuna salad with pickles
Ground turkey with stir fried onions, peppers and mushrooms (with salsa again cause i LOVE salsa)
Hummus and tons of veggies
Hard boiled eggs avocado and cherry tomatoes
Coleslaw and imitation crab sticks and hot sauce
Almond butter and bananas

You can really put anything in a wrap!

I have diced chicken breast with cajun seasoning. I fill my wraps this and kidney beans, cooked peppers, onion, sweetcorn and sometimes jalapenos!

I sometimes add guacamole or a salsa sauce (not too much).

Don't forget about sweets

Banna & PB2 rolled up w/some crushed almonds

PB2 & defrosted berries - much healthier pb&j

sliced apples & chedder(or swiss or brie)slightly warmed

I make my own wraps out of chick pea flour and I like to spread Kroger private selection yogurt dips on them and throw on a slice of light balogna and a celery stick. Only around 140 cals. Per wrap.

Mygsds

Thanks to ALL of you...

I grossed out my co-workers but I put tuna, some wholly guacamole, cheese and tomato into a wrap. It was sooo good! Tagging in for other ideas too.

I want to make my own chic pea wraps too! Recipe Please!!

Not a real wrap, but today I used green leaf lettuce as wraps for the first time and it was really good.

I used ground turkey breast cooked with Italian sensing, hummus, sprouted lentils, tomato, cucumber, red onion, balsamic vinegar, and black olives. (I had a lot of misc. things to use up lol).

Lentil curry, quinoa, cilantro and yogurt.
Chili, brown rice, grated cheese, lettuce and salsa.
Tuna, advocado, and lettuce.
Brocolli, quinoa, and tofu or chicken.
Almost anything really.

I love wraps too. Recently I made one that was great for supper served hot and as a lunch leftover cold....and if you want to experiment with fruit it is GREAT:

Thinly sliced lean sandwich steak, stirfried with sliced onions and red peppers with some chili powder and then for the last minute or so....matchstick slices of pineapple!!!

It is soooo good in a nice whole wheat wrap and with the juice of the pineapple there is no need for a sauce!

Lots of great ideas! I'm in love with Joseph's flax/oat/whole wheat wraps. It's a huge wrap for 100 calories. A lot of times I cut it in half.

I often make a wrap for lunch - my favourites:

Coronation chicken wrap - coronation sauce, lettuce, cucumber, fresh coriander leaves, sprinkle of sliced almonds & dried apricot....finally sliced chicken tikka.

Chinese chicken wrap - fresh coriander, cucumber, lettuce, Chinese chicken pieces, Hoi-sin sauce.

So tasty!!

Sounds delicious!

I like to make one called the Cole slaw wrap.lol
It's just shredded cauliflower, lettuce, carrots
Then I add a bit of shredded cheese
A slice of bacon maybe
And it tastes awesome!!!!
You can roll it up and put it in a bag fir lunch

I mass produce wraps every Sunday and freeze them for my fiance and son's lunch. *Note, theres cheese on all of these. Their favorites are

Hamburger/Onion pizza

Roast Beef and onion

Ham and cheese

Ham/Pineapple pizza

Fajitas (chicken, onions, bell peppers, low sodium fajita mix)

Tacos with salsa and hot sauce

Egg burritos (eggs, spinach, onions, mushrooms, bacon or sausage)

* I buy all my lunch meat at Costco, I find the protein percentage way higher. I also buy TexMex shredded cheese for them.

When I need a snack I spread pb on one whole wheat wrap, roll a banana up and chop it into bit-sized portions. A mix of healthy carbs, protein and fat

MotorcyclesAndCode

Sometimes I'll get the ingredients for them and just make a bunch on a Sunday so I can have a quick meal throughout the next week or so

My favorites are pretty simple:

Turkey, Lettuce, Shredded Sharp Cheddar, Light Ranch
Chicken, Lettuce, Shredded Pepper Jack, Tabasco Sauce
Chicken, Lettuce, Shredded Sharp Cheddar, Light Ranch
Ham, Lettuce, Shredded Sharp Cheddar, Bacon Bits.

I make mine at around 300 - 450 calories each.

You guys are the BEST ,can't wait to try these.... Thanks again soooo much.

Hummace, 2 oz chopped chicken (adobo, pepper, lemon pepper, Italian seasoning, spray the pan with pam and brown until done.) spinach, lettuce (I'd add tomatoes, but I am allergic)

I recently started using lettuce as the wraps

Alpalpha sprouts, homemade guacamole, chopped chicken, or ground chicken seasoned with taco I recipe from Allrecipes dot com, cucumber. sometimes I swap out guacamole for light cream cheese. or add a bit of 2 % shredded cheese.

These all sound delicious - thanks for the great ideas!

Spicy hummus, grilled chicken, baby spinach (or lettuce), shredded carrot, dried cranberries and goat cheese. Maybe some alfalfa sprouts and diced tomato.
