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/hummus0 -
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!0

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.0 -
I usually have plain roast turkey in mine, spiced up with some sweet chilli/BBQ sauce and some salad.0
-
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 radish0 -
there is so much you can do with a wrap!
A personal fav is grilled chicken with roasted peppers and onions with sweet chili sauce! yummy!0 -

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!0 -
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.0
