BLT Wrap

I can't really eat peanut butter sandwiches for lunch anymore, so I've been trying to take some interesting lunch sandwiches to school. This hit the mark on a hot day a couple weeks ago. I had to eat lunch at my desk, and was surprised at how clean and easy it was to prepare at my desk instead of in the cafeteria where I have a large table. 

Ingredients
3-4 slices of cooked bacon (I used center cut)
lettuce leaves, washed and dried
diced tomatoes
1-2 TBSP mayonnaise
1 healthy wrap

Place the mayo on the wrap, add tomatoes, lettuce and bacon (diced if you wish). Roll up and enjoy!

VERDICT: Worked well for my school lunch. We have less than 20 minutes to eat, and this meal took very little of that time to prepare. Cooking the bacon the night before was essential, but you could probably use the pre-cooked bacon as well.

In my quest to eat soft food items until my dentist appointment on Wednesday morning, I made one of my favorite recipes. This was one of those wraps that I created using the inspiration of my favorite appetizer: pickle pinwheels.

1 flour tortilla--the small ones that are Heart Healthy
1 large round pickle, or 2-4 pickle spears
1 serving of deli sliced ham (the stuff I have is 6 slices for 50 calories)
1 oz. fat free cream cheese

Lay the tortilla flat and spread about 1/3 of the cream cheese across it. Then, place the ham over the tortilla. Spread the rest of the cream cheese over the ham. On one side of the tortilla place the pickle(s) and tightly wrap up.


I absolutely love this when I need a fast lunch or snack. If you're doing Weight Watchers this comes in as 4 points, so it definitely doesn't ruin your diet. I paired it with a serving of baked Doritos, so this was a wonderful 6-point lunch. Too bad I'm not doing weight watchers right now, though.
