    I chop up avocado, onions (finely), sprinkle some cilantro, add a touch of lime juice and a can of garbanzo beans (Mash it all up into consistency of egg salad). Roll it up in a mission low carb high fiber wrap. Makes the yummiest and most filling wrap imaginable!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

    The garbanzo beans stay whole for the most part, which gives it a nice texture.

    Absolutely trying this wrap this week for lunch! Sounds awesome!

    I like to do Greek veggie wraps. Whole grain wrap, with roasted garlic hummus, feta, red peppers, spinach, red onions, black or kalamata olives, and cucumbers.


    Or a tuna salad wrap with tuna, chopped celery, red and orange bell peppers, broccoli, red onions, mixed with about half a teaspoon of spicy mustard and a teaspoon of mayo or plain greek yogurt. I generally through a slice of provolone and some spinach and spouts in, also.

    I like La Tortilla Factory's wraps (lots of fiber) with roasted garlic hummus, chopped up cucumber/tomato/red onion. I usually add grilled chicken but you could just as easily put another protein in (soy, beans, etc).

    I'd just like to make a recommendation on wraps. I have always had a problem with the high calorie content in a wrap, it is easy to pack in 300 calories or more in one-two wraps or tortillas. I found some at our grocery store called "Tumaros" brand tortillas, they are only 60 calories, 4 net carbs and delicious! I made one for lunch yesterday with turkey and swiss and it came out to be only 160 calories.

    Thank you I'll give it a try! I'm actually born and bread US but I'm originally from New England so I make weird word choices sometimes. I always claim it's just a regional thing but I haven't lived there in so long I don't know what is actually regional and what are just strange habits I've picked up. The one I get the most looks from is saying bureau instead of dresser.

    I'm from Kansas and I say Chickpea. LOL :)

    great ideas! I love making my own wraps. I add turkey, laughing cow cheese, spinach, red onion, cucumbers, then for fat I either add EVOO sprinkled with oregano or hummus or avacado.

    bureau is a new england thing. :-)

    I can't speak to fillings, but I have had good luck using lettuce at the wrapper. Any type seems to work and that way I can say my calories for the filling.

    You know those tuna and salmon pouches by chicken of the sea? I get those - they are 90 cals each. I take a wrap and add some spinach, then the tuna or salmon pouch, whichever I'm using, and add some diced onion and red pepper, and a little black pepper or sometiems a dab of sauce - like chipotle hot sauce. It's yummy! Oh and sometimes I add half of a small avacado, that makes it super yummy!

    i make this recipe: http://www.mountainmamacooks.com/2012/10/all-purpose-slow-cooker-shredded-chicken/ and then use it for everything! ~~~OH and i use my kitchenaid mixer to shred the chicken. ~~~~ it's fast and does an amazing job! for a lunch option with the chicken, i like to do something like this: http://pinterest.com/pin/61009769924037955/

    or add honey and lime juice to the chicken and wrap it up in a big lettuce leaf with some black beans. then i can eat two, since i don't have to worry about a bunch of extra calories or carbs from a wrap :)

    Another wrap recommendation, I use the Ole Mexican Foods Extreme Wellness Tortillas - Spinach & Herb Tortilla Wraps. They are 90 calories and they are pretty large.

    If you want to opt for a sweeter wrap try smearing peanut butter on the wrap then adding berries or banana or both and maybe some honey or cinnamon.

    I wouldn't make more than 2-3 days worth at a time, but this salad is really good in wraps or pitas.
