Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for some low calorie wraps?

I've been having wraps for lunch lately and I think I've finally perfected my recipe (1 slice ea. of American and Swiss cheeses broken up to cover whole tortilla, 2 slices of very thinly sliced ham, microwave for 30 seconds, add lettuce & tomato and roll!)
However, the tortillas i'm using right are whole wheat 6.5" tortillas that are 130 calories each and I just feel like there's got to be something with less out there.

Anyone have any ideas!?

Any advice is much appreciated! :flowerforyou:

    These are my absolute favorite good-for-me food. One of my favorite lunches is one of these with hummus and baby spinach, yummm.

    Ole Mexican Foods
    Extreme Fitness Tomato Basil ( and a spinach&herb )
    Each wrap is 71 calories....

    BUT...12grams fiber:bigsmile: . They taste good, 2 gr fat....I'm pretty sure they are in the data base.

    If you can't find them---Ole Mexican Foods Corp Office in GA
    (770) 582-9200
    We get them in a little local market so I don't know who distributes.

    Yup and they also have a larger version tortilla made with extra virgin olive oil called Smart and Delicious that has 90 calories.

    I use those to make a light version pizza with turkey pepperoni, pizza sauce and reduced fat shredded mozzarella.

    Yeah...those are pretty good too. They are usually in the deli section in most grocery stores.

    GREAT ideas on the tortillas!! I might switch over. :smile:

    Idea for inside and one of my favs:

    Tilapia (baked with a sprinkle of taco seasoning or chilli powder)
    Cabbage
    Salsa
    Light Sour cream (if you want)

    SO GOOOOD and really easy.

    Great post and fantastic suggestions for low cal wraps.

    I have been struggling as well with high cal wraps. I like to make peanut butter banana wraps - very yummy and if you use whole wheat, they last easily until lunch..

    Thanks for posting.

    ... good fiber content on those too as well as low carb, low/no fat on the lighter version ...lots of flavor choices as well........

    great to bake and make yourself some pita like chips, pizza, roll-ups, etc.....

    Was fun finding that brand 'FlatOut Lite Wraps'....:drinker:

    I've always seen them in front of the deli section in stores...like in front of the meat counter etc.:drinker:

    I love the La Tortilla low-carb wraps (50 cals & 8g of fiber!), and also the Light Multi-grain Flatout wraps. Another thing I like are the Joseph's Flax & Oatbran pitas (60 cals) or the Lavash breads (100 cals for a whole large one).

    Most of them are by the deli sections instead of the regular breads.

    I love 10 inch whole wheat wraps. Spread hummus on it, add chopped tomatoes, lettuce, sprouts, chicken chunks and a bit of homemade vinegarette!
