Wraps are one of my favorite things to make.  I really like them grilled or hot-pressed as I like to call them.  I’ve made a Santa Fe version (my favorite), a BBQ chicken version (loved it), and a Chicken Popper version (yummo).  They are so easy to make served with roasted potatoes, chips, fries, or even a soup or salad.  I also love to reheat them the next day for lunch.  They are just so EASY!

Plus, you can totally enjoy this one when you are trying to eat healthy.  Use a whole wheat wrap and you have a really low-calorie dinner that is full of flavor!  You won’t even feel like you are watching your calories!

    1. This recipe sounds amazing! I’m thinking about taking it for a potluck. Can these be made the night before or will the tomatoes make it soggy?
