Servings 1 wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8-inch tortilla (any variety)
  • 1 teaspoon spread (dressing, low-fat mayonnaise, mashed avocado, mustard)
  • ½ cup shredded, sliced, or ¼-inch chopped vegetables (carrot, cucumber, lettuce, onion, slaw mix, tomato, etc.)
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheese

Protein - Select One or Multiple

  • 1 ounce cooked and sliced meat (beef, chicken, ham, turkey)
  • ¼ cup hummus
  • ¼ cup mashed low-sodium beans (black, cannellini, chickpeas, great northern white, refried)
  • ¼ cup drained tuna in water
  • 1 large mashed or sliced hard-boiled egg

Instructions
 

  • Clean the kitchen area and wash hands with soap and water.
  • Gently rinse fresh produce under cold running water. Packaged produce labeled pre-washed shouldn't be washed again.
  • Place the tortilla on a plate.
  • Mix the spread and vegetables in a bowl and set aside.
  • When adding fillings into the wrap, try to keep them on one side for easier rolling.
  • Add the shredded cheese, protein, and vegetables.
  • Fold the wrap. Bring the left and right sides inward over the filling. They don't need to touch in the middle, just enough to contain the filling. While holding those side folds down, grab the bottom edge of the tortilla. Bring it up and over the filling, pulling back slightly to tuck the filling in tightly. Keep rolling forward from the bottom until you reach the top edge.
  • Eat or wrap in a paper towel and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds to melt the cheese.

Storage

  • For safety, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container as soon as possible, or within 2 hours.
