High-Protein Breakfast/Lunch Wrap
To meet your protein requirements for the day, most people need to include protein in every meal. If you normally grab a pastry or a bowl of cereal for breakfast, you may be setting yourself up for hunger later in the day. This chicken wrap has one-third of the day’s protein requirement, plus a serving of veggies.
Serves 1.
3 oz. cooked, skinned chicken breast, cut into strips.
½ c. romaine lettuce, cut in strips
½ red pepper, cut in strips
1 T. salad dressing of your choice, or 1 T. mayonnaise
1 large whole wheat tortilla
• In a bowl, toss the meat and vegetables with the salad dressing.
• Place meat and vegetables on tortilla, in a line about 1-inch in from the lower edge and sides. Tightly roll the tortilla, folding in the ends as you roll.
• Slice on diagonal and enjoy. Or, if you are not eating immediately, enclose in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
