Ingredients

1 medium low-fat flour tortilla (about 110 calories with at least 6g fiber)

2 ounces cooked skinless lean turkey breast, chopped

2 slices (about 1 ounce) extra-lean turkey bacon

1 slice fat-free American cheese

2 leaves romaine lettuce

2 tablespoons diced tomatoes

5 cucumber slices

1 tablespoon fat-free mayonnaise

Directions

Over medium heat, cook bacon strips in a pan sprayed with nonstick spray until crispy (about 5 minutes). Once cool enough to handle, chop bacon into small pieces.

Combine turkey, bacon, mayo, and tomatoes in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly.

Microwave tortilla until slightly warm. Lay the tortilla out on a piece of foil (a little larger than the tortilla) with about a 2-inch section of the tortilla extending over the foil.

Tear lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Place cheese, lettuce, cucumber slices, and turkey mixture into the center of the tortilla.

Fold the right side of the tortilla in at a diagonal. Then fold the left side in at a diagonal. Flip the bottom up to prevent the contents from falling out. Wrap the foil around the tortilla in the same manner. The end result will be a waffle-cone-style wrap!

Everything you need to know to succeed in the wonderful world of wraps . . .

Step 1:
Slightly warm your tortilla by microwaving it for about 10 seconds. Doing so will make it easier to work with, and it'll also taste better.

Step 2:
Place your stuff in the center of your tortilla. First fold the sides in (a few inches), and then fold the bottom to the center, creating an envelope around your filling. Use a fork to smoosh any attempted escapees into the pocket you've created.

Step 3:
Slowly roll your tortilla upward until you reach the top. Voilà!

Ingredients

1 medium low-fat flour tortilla (about 110 calories with at least 6g fiber)

1 veggie burger patty (veggie-based rather than the imitation-meat kind)

1 wedge The Laughing Cow Light Original Swiss cheese

3 tablespoons chopped mushrooms

1 tablespoon chopped onions

Optional condiments: ketchup, mustard, fat-free mayonnaise, salsa

Directions

Microwave tortilla until slightly warm. Lay the tortilla out and spread the cheese wedge evenly on top of it.

In a pan sprayed with nonstick spray, cook the veggie patty over medium heat. (Refer to the package for exact cooking time.) Once patty is half-cooked, remove it from the pan and chop into bite-sized pieces.

Place the onions and patty pieces in the pan and continue cooking for 1 minute. Then add mushrooms, stir, and cook for 2 additional minutes or until veggies are fully cooked.

Remove pan from heat and allow to cool slightly. Evenly spoon mixture into the center of the cheese-covered tortilla. If desired, top with guilt-free condiments.

Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll it up. Place on a microwave-safe plate, seam-side down, and heat for 30 seconds.
