Healthy Wraps

There is all kinds of things to put in them.

Your favorite lean meat cute into small pieces, top with lettuce (any type, but spinach is really good in them), small amount of cheese, and depending on meat a little sauce (BBQ, ranch, mustard, mayo). Nothing should be off limits, all in moderation. I've found adding a teaspoon of sauce to my sandwich or wraps keeps me from hating my lunch.

I eat wraps/tortillas alot! I like to stuff mine full of turkey, sprouts, spinach and avacado or dijon mustard!

I also make easy chicken and cheese quesadillas with them using leftover chicken and reduced fat shredded cheddar. Chop up your chicken and place a wrap on a skillet over medium heat. Place 1/2 the cheese on 1/2 the shell, top with 3-4 oz of chicken, top chicken with remaining cheese and fold in half. Cook until lightly browned and crispy. Flip. Repeat. Dip or smother in salsa and enjoy!

I can get my kids to eat pretty much anything if it's in a wrap!
Take your fave healthy food and that's it
Their favorite currently is peanut butter and bananas or turkey and ham

A recipe I like alot is an egg white spinach wrap with feta cheese and sundried tomatoes.

1.Cook egg whites in a square shape. put aside
2. cook spinach in frying pan until it wilts.
3.cut up just a few sun dried tomatoes (but the kind that is packed in oil and herbs) in to tiny pieces. you only need one or two sundried tomato pieces since it's just for the taste. cook it on frying pan just to heat it up
3. put everything above and a little bit of feta cheese in wrap and fold it in a square.
4. take the wrap and cook it on frying pan until the outsides brown. Doing this makes the whole wrap warm, and it tircks my body in to thinking that I'm eating something more caliorie packed than it is.

Some fiesta lime rice (http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/fiesta-lime-rice.html)
Add some chicken shawarma (shawarma spice on 1 inch cubes of chicken breast lightly oil and then cooked)
add some salsa and mexican cheese

Enjoy! I dig this very much

I use them as pizza bases - bake in the oven until crispy, add your toppings (eg cherry tomatoes, peppers, onions, small amount of mozzarella, fresh basil, ham, oregano, black pepper) then put back in the oven until done. Mmmmmmm. With a small wholewheat tortilla it comes in at under 300 calories - and you can add a big salad to the side if you choose.

One of my favourite fillings for wraps is grated carrot, houmous and alfalfa sprouts. Garlicky, fresh and filling. I wrap them up in tinfoil and take with me when out hiking. Much less likely to get squashed than a normal sandwich.

I love making tuna wraps. Or chicken wraps. I like adding romaine and/or black olives. Or slice up some dill pickle. Basically, if you can make a salad out of it, you can turn it into a wrap

Regarding the mexican chicken wraps...

oooo! That sounds amazing! I guess I know What I am getting myself for lunches this week! Lol! Thanks!

I love to take a whole wheat wrap, take a half avocado, mush it up and spread it on the wrap. Then I take some black beans and mush those up and spread them over the avocado. Next I add lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, all colors of bell peppers and some black olives and it is very good! You can also add a little salsa to it which adds alot of flavor! Try it... You wont be disappointed!

Oh my! That sounds delicious! I also like avocado in my wraps with turkey and spinach (or lettuce).

Peanut butter and banana on a wrap for breakfast. Yummo.

I like reduced fat feta and bleu cheese in my wraps because a litte bit adds a lot of flavor.
