Pesto Chicken Salad Wrap

I was so excited to find some whole wheat tortillas at Costco that have 12 grams of fiber each, no hydrogenated oils they are only 80 calories each and they actually TASTE GOOD! Score. I Love Costco, and we got all of the ingredients for this fantastic wrap during our last trip there.

Ingredients for filling (makes 4-6 rolls):

2 cans white meat chicken
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup diced red grapes
1/2 cup mayo
3 Tablespoons pesto

You will also need:

4-6 cups fresh baby spinach
1 tomato (diced)
4-6 whole wheat tortillas

To Make Filling:

Drain chicken and shred with a fork. Mix mayo into the chicken. Mix pesto into chicken, mix well. Mix celery and grapes into chicken mixture.

To Assemble Wraps:

One at a time; Lay tortilla down flat. Place about 1 cup spinach in the middle of your tortilla. Top spinach with about 3/4 cup chicken mixture. Top with 1/4 cup diced tomato and roll up like a burrito.

A healthy lunch with protein, loads of fiber and whole grain, nearly 2 servings of vegetables and some fruit for good measure. Serve with a side of fruit and a tall glass of water.

Spinach Lunch Wrap

Okay, I don't have a picture of this one yet, but I couldn't bring myself to post a dinner recipe after breakfast without having lunch :)

This wrap is surprisingly my seven year old's favorite sandwich for school lunch, I must be doing something right. It is packed with things that are great for you. With three servings of veggies, some protein and a serving of whole grains you can high five the food pyramid chart and stick your tongue out at the bathroom scale. Eat it with a side of fruit... maybe an apple and color yourself healthy today!

Ingredients:

We use the 90 calories whole grain flat wraps, but you can use any soft tortilla.

1-2 Tablespoons hummus - Excellent source of fiber and protein and SOOOO tasty.

1/2 tomato

1/2 cucumber

1 cup raw baby spinach - A great superfood full of iron!

Directions:

Wash your veggies well. Chop your tomato and cucumber into average sized chunks. Spread hummus onto the wrap. Lay spinach in the middle of the wrap and top with chopped veggies. Wrap it up all pretty like and eat or send it to school/work for lunch.

*When making the night before for a lunch I seed the tomato so the wrap doesn't get soggy overnight.
