Hi,

i love taking wraps to work as part of my lunch - i use the weight watchers ones. i have come to a bit of a mental block about fillings though. i usually have chicken or tuna but would really like to liven them up a bit and have some low cal haelthy filling wraps. any ideas?

    lean taco meat, shredded lettuce, diced onion and tomato, a little hot sauce, cheese if you want.

    hummus?

    caesar salad (tried to spell that three times and that is the best I can do! ha!)

    roast beef, italian dressing, banana peppers (not sure on calories for that....)

    ham and swiss and tomato

    assorted roasted veggies (red pepper, zucchini, onion, green pepper) and a light salad dressing/spread/hummus

    I am on a breakfast burrito kick lately. I usually include 3 scrambled egg whites, 1/8 cup shredded colby jack cheese and 1 tbsp. Pace chunky salsa. I also use the Mission Carb Conscious Tortillas. They are a bit smaller (fajita sized) but 2 of them fills me up. I split the 3 egg whites between the 2 tortillas. Good luck!

    Try beans as your protein source. I like fat free refried, since they hold everything together, but black or any other type would work just fine.

    I also love hummus veggie wraps, and any lean protein would work great inside. I do soy bacon, grilled chicken strips, or sliced up veggie burgers.

    Bell pepper strips, sliced cucumber, steamed zucchini or squash, julienned carrots, green beans, Mexican rice...

    If you make a veggie for dinner, just throw leftovers into your wrap the next day.

    I usually have plain roast turkey in mine, spiced up with some sweet chilli/BBQ sauce and some salad.

    Low fat cottage cheese + salsa + veggie sticks

    Hummus + sprouts + avocado slices + turkey (optional) + mustard

    (Pinto beans + barbecue sauce) + (shredded red cabbage + lime juice + chili powder + cilantro)

    Shaved Parmesan + shaved fennel + arugula + salt + pepper

    also, try adding raw parsnip matchsticks to your regular sandwiches, or chunks of radish

    My favorite...

    - Deli smoked turkey
    - 1 or 2 slices of turkey bacon
    - Sprinkle of cheddar cheese
    -Lettuce
    -Tomato
    - light drizzle of light ranch dressing (tbsp)

    -other veggies too if you like! Sometimes I add onions, peppers, snow peas, cucumber ect
    also I have had avocado instead of ranch dressing...pretty delish!

    Anything you would use in a sandwich can be in a wrap. I rarely eat bread for sandwiches anymore. Whole Wheat wraps are a staple on my grocery list.

    I like black beans, pico de gallo, and some low fat mexican blend cheese. Heat a little but so the cheese melts, so yummy.

    I usually put:

    Black pepper turkey
    Baby spinach
    Diced cucumbers
    Laughing Cow Swiss

    On a whole wheat tortilla.

    I've also tried shrimp and a bit of cocktail sauce, which was delicious. o:
