Wraps, The Perfect Summer Lunch

Looking for a light, guilt free option for your next beach day or back yard BBQ?  These wraps are great to throw together and bring with on an afternoon out.  Skip Subway and all the hidden calories and make these nutritious wraps yourself!

Ingredients:

Wraps (or large Tortilla Shells)

Lunch Meat or Grilled Chicken (use up those leftovers!)

Lettuce (I like romaine), Shredded

Tomatoes, diced or sliced

Cucumbers, shredded

Carrots, shredded

Cheese (Fresh Mozzarella, Goat Cheese, Gouda, Cheddar, Swiss, Etc)

Greek Yogurt + Seasoning Pack (ie: French Onion Soup Mix or Ranch Powder)

Start by making a "Salad" out of all the shredded veggies.

Next smear a layer of the flavored Greek yogurt (or hummus, honey mustard or low-fat mayo) onto tortilla.

Place a nice sized pile of veggies onto middle of wrap, top with meat and cheese. 

Now roll it up.  If you plan to make "pin wheels" (which little hands love) don't bother to tuck in the sides.  Simply leave it open on the ends. 

Now using a sharp serrated knife cut into 7 slices, discard or snack on the end pieces. 

Filling Ideas:

Oven Roasted Turkey Breast with French Onion Smear (Onion Soup Mix and Greek Yogurt), Garden Veggies and Fresh Mozzarella (this is the one I made in the pictures)

Grilled Chicken with Creamy Ranch Smear (Ranch Powder and Greek Yogurt), Garden Veggies and Avocado

BBQ Chicken with Honey Mustard Smear (Honey, Mustard and Low-Fat Cream Cheese), Garden Veggies and Smoked Gouda

Grilled Veggies with a Hummus Smear, Shredded Lettuce and Fresh Mozzarella

Roast Beef with a Horseradish Smear (Prepared Horseradish and Greek Yogurt), Shaved Red Onion and Shredded Lettuce

Notes:
If you are planning to make these for a party, prep all the ingredients the day before so on the day of all you have to do is roll them up.

Make a "Wrap Bar" for your kids, they will love choosing what goes into their dinner.
