it's a wrap

if you're like me, cereal just doesn't cut it for breakfast most days. as an active mom of a busy 15-month-old as well as current incubator for baby #2, i need fuel in the mornings!

in addition to cutting out some extra sugar (i say some... i fail miserably every time i attempt this challenge), i am also trying to get plenty of protein in the meals and snacks i choose.

here are two delicious wrap ideas that are full of protein, nutrition, and flavor!

wrap #1: no-name wrap, let's call it the mexican wrap

i didn't invent this wrap, but it has become a favorite. i've heard it's good with chorizo, but i have yet to try it!

ingredients:

1 whole wheat tortilla

1 egg, scrambled

2 spoonfuls salsa

2-3 slices avacado

2 spoonfuls grated cheese

pretty straightforward-- scramble the egg. i put the cheese in the tortilla first, then the egg, then the salsa and avacado. wrap it up! great for any meal or a hearty snack!

wrap #2: JMU wrap

definitely can't take credit for this wrap. i was introduced to it by my husband and sister-in-law.

ingredients:

1 whole wheat tortilla

2 tablespoons peanut butter

1/2-1 banana, sliced

handful of granola or cereal (cheerios work fine)

drizzle of honey (optional)

again, very straightforward. i like to spread the peanut butter on the tortilla, heat the tortilla in the microwave for about 20 seconds, then slice the banana and sprinkle the cereal (i don't like a warm banana). goes great with a large glass of milk!

for the record, i don't really measure when i cook, unless it is a specific or new recipe. my husband's family calls it the TLAR method (That Looks About Right)...and i call it cooking! it's fun to throw in what looks like the right amount then taste and adapt to your own preferences!

do you have any wrap ideas you would like to share?
