Meatless Monday: Cheesy Vegetable Wrap recipe
December 14, 2009
This Cheesy Vegetable Wrap recipe is from the Meatless Mondays Web site!
In my opinion, wraps are the easiest recipes on the face of the planet. It’s a licence for creativity and an excellent way to manage leftovers!
These meatless wraps are excellent for lunch or as a light dinner that you can serve with a hearty salad!
>>> How to buy healthy wraps for your wrap recipes?
> When buying your wrap, you’ll REALLY need to read the ingredient list because so many wraps contain added sugar and tons of stuff I cannot pronounce.
> The ideal scenario is for you to buy your wraps at a natural health food store or at Whole Foods Market. Those wraps contain a short list of ingredients and those are all ingredients you CAN actually pronounce.
> Wraps are a great opportunity to switch from white flour to whole wheat. You get far more fibre and nutritional value and in my opinion, they taste a whole lot better!
>>>Ingredients for the Cheesy Vegetable Wrap recipe<<<
1/4 cup tub-style fat-free cream cheese (Krizia’s recommendation – I hate fat-free cheese. I’d get the regular cream cheese because it tastes better, but I’d make sure not to add too much of it)
4 (10-inch) fat-free flour tortillas (Krizia’s recommendation – I’d be concerned with the hidden sugar that is added in tortillas … I buy my tortillas at Whole Foods Market because I’m guaranteed that I’m not getting anything I don’t want in my food)
4 curly leaf lettuce leaves
1 cup alfalfa sprouts
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup chopped tomato
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
>>>Preparation steps for the Cheesy Vegetable Wrap recipe<<<
Spread one tablespoon cream cheese over each tortilla; top each with a lettuce leaf. Divide sprouts and remaining ingredients evenly among tortillas; roll up. Cut each rolled wrap in half diagonally.
