Hi there, along with my paper passion I also a fitness buff. I try to practice what I preach with diet and exercise. I have some friends who wanted to know about my lunch wraps. I take them every where. I am driving all over the west side of Long Beach these days for work and I eat on my car every day. I came up with these wraps out of necessity. I needed a sturdy meal that I could eat on the "run". I pack a cooler everyday and I hated when my containers leaked, I couldn't warm up my food, or my sandwitch got crushed. Now I don't have that worry.
My whole wheat tortillas (for some reason I always like to make 2 or more wraps. I don't always eat them both but since they are kept cold I will often eat the second one the next day or if I work again at night it will become my dinner).
I spread hummus instead of mayo
Add some cheese (it sticks to the hummus so I won't fall out when I roll this up).
I used canned chicken but the insides are up to you.
I added avocado, they are in season right now and ours are so ripe I need to use them up.
I love spinach it holds up much better than lettuce and I know it has more nutritional value.
Tomatoes are great but can make the tortilla soggy since they are so juicy. I omitted them today.
I tuck everything in and roll as tightly as I can but be careful the tortillas can rip
Into the ziplock bag they go.
I have ice blocks under the food and water bottle.
My soft lunch sack with my other items goes on top and I am good to go. I hope you give these a try and come up with your own recipe and share it too.
-cheers
