And That’s a Wrap!

Most days, I find myself on-the-go more often than I intend to be, thus making meals a tad more challenging to plan than normal. Harder to make the right choices, harder to eat healthier, and let’s be honest… harder on my bank account too if I end up grabbing something quick while I’m out! Lately, I have found myself throwing food in the infamous tortilla. It’s convenient. It’s easy. It doesn’t take many ingredients to fill. It’s a great size to fit in a plastic bag, wrap in foil, or even beeswax wrap. It can even be eaten while driving, I’m sold! Wraps are also a great way to make meals in advance for a couple of days, and are easy to store in your refrigerator, taking up little space. So, the question becomes… what can we put in this magical wrap?
