It's a Wrap: Healthy Tortilla and Wrap Recipe Ideas

.::Healthy Recipes


I love the versatility of a wrap or tortilla. Wraps and tortillas are wonderful for evenings on the go when you need a quick, simple and healthy meal. Some of my notable favorites are the breakfast wrap, buffalo chicken wrap, turkey burger wrap, mushroom swiss wrap, avocado and cheddar wrap, the burrito and all sorts of other nutritious wraps. Is there anything you can't wrap?

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!



Sunday Brunch! Healthy Spinach and Eggs Diablo

.::brunch



It's Sunday, and that means it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy a healthy breakfast with loved ones. Why not whip up a healthy brunch? This Spinach and Eggs Diablo is not only a quick meal to make, but it's an easy recipe to follow!

What you reed:

2 over easy or poached eggs
One piece of wheat bread (or English muffin)
A handful of raw spinach
A slice of pepper jack cheese
Wing sauce or hot sauce (I used wing sauce)
Fresh ground pepper




Set your oven to 350, then lay the spinach over the toast. Top the spinach with a slice of pepper jack cheese, then put it in the oven until the bread is toasted the way you prefer. When it's done, take it out of the over and place the eggs over it. Finally, drizzle with wing sauce and add fresh ground pepper to taste. I prefer to serve mine with a little fresh fruit for extra energy to aid me in my weight loss journey.

Enjoy!
