Wraps

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!

    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

    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.

    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. :)

    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 :)

    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.

    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.

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