I love wraps. Lettuce, flatbread or tortillas – they are all fun vehicles to use leftovers from the fridge. Shayna and I are presenting a “What to Eat During Treatment” class this week at Cancer Wellness at Piedmont West, and she suggested the wraps that we have enjoyed before during a similar event. Done – Here are two new recipes to try! But even if you aren’t in treatment – here are a couple of easy and delicious ideas that you can roll for dinner tonight!
Greek Salad Wrap
4 Whole Wheat Tortillas
1 Recipe *White Bean Dip
1 Tsp Dried Oregano

Spread each tortilla with some white bean dip and sprinkle with the dried oregano. Arrange the Spinach, Red Pepper, Tomato, Black Olives and Feta on top and roll the tortilla. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
