It's a Wrap: Healthy Tortilla and Wrap Recipe Ideas
3:07 PM
Aside from wrapping food in a tortilla, wraps can be used in other ways to make quick, healthy meals. A recipe I love for weight loss is the avocado quesadilla with mozzarella and ranch Greek yogurt, (Hidden Valley Ranch packet mixed with Greek yogurt). Chicken and cheese quesadilla are awesome, too, though you can't get too crazy with the cheese. Moderation!
How about a healthy pizza? I adore crispy, healthy flatbread pizzas, but don't have the time to mess with a bunch of dough. Instead, I sprinkle a little olive oil on a whole wheat tortilla wrap and top it with 2% mozzarella and whatever fixings I want. I put it in the oven on 350 and cook until the edges become crispy. These low fat pizzas aren't only easy meals, but make great snacks and dinners for kids.
What else do I dig about wraps and tortillas? Anyone on any kind of diet can utilize them. There are so many varieties! Whole wheat, corn, gluten free, spinach, tomato and low carb. And just some FYI- I prefer tortillas over wraps because generally tortillas have less calories, are less expensive and can be found easily anywhere. But they are also thinner, so it really all depends on your preference. Happy wrapping!
