The other day, I was feeling a little adventurous, so bought a package of whole-wheat wraps. AVID lover of bread that I am, I’ve never really gotten into The Wrap. I mean, what’s the point — other than shaving some carbs off your daily count? But, this weekend, I discovered the beauty of The Wrap: it’s not the wrap, but what’s inside that counts. Packed properly, with the right combo and placement of filling, the wrap can be a very delicious thing.
ACCORDINGLY, I am addicted to this little wrap concoction of mine, so I thought I’d share. It involves a LITTLE washing-and-slicing-of-the-vegetables, of which I’m not a fan, but the end result is worth it. And, it’s vegetarian, so no animals were harmed in it’s making. Check it.
Ingredients:
- Whole Wheat Wrap (for all the dieting Gorgeouses out there);
- Avocado
- Tomato (I use a small plum tomato because I pretty-much LOATHE the tomato; but it works here)
- Lettuce (one big leaf is plenty)
- Low-fat cheese (shredded if available)
- AMY’S CALIFORNIA BURGER (WHICH, if you haven’t tried it, is so YUM — and it’s sans soy….)
So here’s what you do:
1. Spread the avocado on the wrap (pretend it’s butter — really really HEALTHY butter).
2. Spread all the other ingredients in a line in the centre of the wrap, like so….

Eww…. It looks pretty GNARSTY in picture. So, you’ll have to trust me that it’s great.
3. Roll it up.
4. Cut in half so you can see the pretty cross-section….

Look how PROFESSIONAL!
5. ENJOY!
Et voila! The perfect wrap. Try it! And, let me know how you like it!

Looks good ! A little comment on whole wheat – I don’t think it’s a diet as much as it is a way of life. I’ve been eating whole wheat bread my whole life (thanks for being a nutritionist mommy) and it’s just normal to eat it.

Mmmm. Had this today except used roasted turkey breast. Yum! I am so uninspired at lunchtime so this got me off my duff and I tried something more fun!! I even ‘rolled’ up a PB & banana for my 3 yr old which he thought was great.

It sounds delicious. Remind me not to come to your site just before lunch ;)
