Well, you all know that I LOVE recipes. Therefore I LOVE to participate in Pam from Random Thoughts Recipe Exchange.
For this recipe exchange we were suppossed to post a favorite "Lunch Recipe." I've been trying to eat better; less meat & chicken and more veggies.
With that said I bring you the

Arrange all the filling ingredients in a row along the center one-third of the tortilla. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll the tortilla up as tightly as possible to enclose the filling without tearing the tortilla. Cut in half crosswise and eat immediately, or wrap both halves in plastic wrap to pack into a lunch bag.

Remember you can add extra veggies or substitute if there is something in the wrap you don't like. Be creative!

Perfect! I've been really trying to eat a lot less meat too, and much more veggies and fruit. This looks so yummy!
Yummy! You always post such delicious sounding recipes.
I love cooking. I make a quick Mexican type meal that is so good and easy. I cook some red peppers and onions in a pan, add some chopped up chicken until cooked. Then I add some black beans and salsa until heated through and eat it that way. You could add some cheese or put it in a tortilla if you'd like.
If you go to myrecipes.com you can search for healthy recipes from Cooking Light magazine that are really good.
that looks so tasty, especially with the cream cheese, yummm.
Mmmm... I'd have to add sliced cucumber to this for some crunch! Thanks for sharing!
