Wrap it up


Delicious, good-for-you sandwich to take anywhere.

This sandwich is full of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins A and C, and iron to keep your energy levels up so you don’t hit that afternoon slump.

Chicken Caesar WrapMost of us know how unhealthy Caesar salads can be for us, but have no guilt with this Chicken Caesar Wrap! Fat-free Caesar dressing, chive cream cheese and mayo add a rich taste without the saturated fat, plus this sandwich is a breeze to make and tastes great for lunch.

Serves 1

1 cup carrot, grated

1 cup romaine lettuce, sliced

2 tablespoons fat-free Caesar dressing

2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

1 each (10-inch) tortilla

2 tablespoons fat-free onion chive cream cheese

5 slices low-fat sliced chicken luncheon meat

In a medium sized bowl, combine the carrot, romaine, cheese and dressing.Set aside. Place a tortilla on a flat work surface and spread with the cream cheese covering the outer edges (this will help keep the wrap sealed). Lay the slices of chicken along the center, overlapping evenly, from the left edge to the right edge of the tortilla. Repeat with the salad mixture. Roll it up tightly. Try to keep bits of the mixture off the upper edge so the cream cheese layer can paste onto the tortilla to seal. Wrap again in plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

I have had this as my afternoon snack the past two days. Only I modified mine a little. I took a whole wheat tortilla, spread 1 Tbl onion & chive cream cheese on it, spread on shredded lettuce, shredded carrot, diced tomatoes and slices of lunch meat. Roll up and eat. I love it!

Thanks for the recipe.
