Need a quick lunch or dinner idea? Make your own wrap! All you need is your favorite dressing, cheese, vegetables, protein, and a wrap. To make this a complete MyPlate meal, add a serving of fruit on the side. Fruit can be fresh, frozen, or canned in 100% juice. My favorite canned fruit is pears in 100% fruit juice. I made my wrap with fat-free refried beans, a mixture of tomatoes, cucumbers, and coleslaw mix, mashed avocado, and shredded Mexican cheese!
