Yesterday lunch was inspired by all the the Mexican style Super Bowl snacks that were featured in everyone’s blogs. I love tacos, nachos, layer dip and basically anything Mexican style.
I was very hungry when I made these two wraps for lunch, but after eating just one, I was complete full and saved the other for today. I used Traders Joe’s reduced carb wheat wraps again, they are now my personal favorite if I was to use “bread”. For the calories, protein and fiber, they cannot be beat!
This recipe is for 4 wraps, I only ate one, Andy ate two, and there is one left for today! Into the wrap I placed some spring mix and romaine chopped, then, I made a little dressing in a bowl. I mixed 1 tbsp. Tofutti better than sour cream, 2 tsp. red wine vinegar, juice of 1 clementine and unmeasured amount of Mrs. Dash Lime Fiesta seasoning. I mixed it together until it had a perfectly balance spicy and creamy taste. I drizzled a little bit on the greens. I topped the greens with 3/4 piece of Gardein Chipotle Lime Chick’n fingers chopped up in each wrap. In a separate bowl, I combined, 1/4 cup defrosted corn kernels, 1/2 small red onion diced very small, 1/2 cup mango diced small, and 1/4 cup defrosted diced red & publano peppers with 1/2 pint small grape tomatoes halved, to make a sort of salsa. I topped each wrap with an equal amount of the salsa, and I put some cilantro on mine. Andy hates cilantro…so does Mya. I adore it. The only thing that this wrap was missing was some avocado, I cut one open and it was a mushy brown mess inside. Yuk!
The totals for one of these wraps are: 265 calories, 8 grams fat, 18 grams protein and 11 grams of fiber. I finished it off with a nice cup of coffee and a small piece of one my “Chunky” bars.

I made such a mess making these, I was so excited, I just kept taking ingredients out and not putting them back. It took until after dinner to see the whole counter again.
the title alone of this post in my Google Reader made my mouth water. The pics had no mercy on me! Now I really want one! Thanks for sharing.
