Wraps!

Wraps are so yummy and so easy to adapt to anyone's tastes.  We've been making them lately and feeling a lot healthier- but that's probably all in my head as some of the stuff we put on these isn't the most healthy.   There are so many different ways to make a wrap- here is what we've been doing lately:

Ingredients:

10 in. tortillas-  Regular, Garden Spinach Herb or Tomato Basil
Cheese
1 can black beans
Cream cheese spread
Avocado sandwich spread
Broccoli slaw
Peppers- green, yellow or red
Meat-- sandwich or grilled chicken, turkey, or ham
Bacon bits
Olives

First I shmear the tortilla, usually I like to eat the Garden Spinach one, with the cream cheese and then the avocado spread.  Next I slice up some cheese, I've used Munster and cheddar- both are delicious, and put them down the center of the tortilla.  Then I pile everything on top, wrap it up and enjoy!

This is so simple and fresh. I just love the broccoli slaw.  It's an easy way to get veggies and adds a yummy crunch. The black beans are so filling and are good for you, plus they're cheap.  We've only had sandwich meat to make these but I think cubed grilled chicken would be fabulous.

So be creative and enjoy a wrap tonight!
