Wrap-It-Up Wednesday: Greek Chicken Wrap

Happy hump day!

I hope your week is going well! Even if it’s not going well, I guess the good news it that it’s half over! 😉

I’ve been hot on wraps for lunch lately and thought I’d share a few with you this month as the weather is warming up! I declare today, Wrap-It-Up-Wednesday! And while I show you how I “wrap it up” I thought I’d throw in a few of my current favorite photos just for fun!

Ren is growing like a weed.

I know my readers can’t resist pictures of babies and puppies! I mean, come on! Haha!

Now, let’s WRAP-IT-UP!

I love a cool crisp lunchtime salad in the summer but something about wrapping it up in carbs makes me feel even better. Good carbs though! 😉

Wraps are an easy, versatile and healthy lunch that can be made ahead when necessary. To make things easy, I wash and chop up all of my veggies at once and place them in individual containers in the fridge. I have to make things as easy as possible when it comes to eating veggies and fruit. If I wait to prep until I’m hungry, I WON’T DO IT!

I used a 100% whole wheat tortilla but I also enjoy using Flatout Wraps.

And you know me… CHEESE! Feta cheese to be precise!

I’m all about just using what you have on hand. Wraps are a great way to use up odds and ends of leftover veggies. To this wrap you could also add a vinaigrette dressing, calamata olives and cucumbers. (I would have if they would have been in my fridge!)

This is the moment I realize I may not be able to roll this big thing up!

Somehow I secured it just long enough to snap a photo.

    Lauren, Do you leave your lettuce in the lettuce spinner in your fridge? Seems like I great place to I was just wondering. When I use mason jars I feel like the water/lettuce is left dirty.

      I do store my lettuce in the salad spinner! I wash it, spin it and then drain the bowl… sometimes I even use a towel to make sure there is no water left in the bottom, then I just store it in the fridge. It stays fresh so much longer! I have the Oxo Good Grips brand of spinner and would highly recommend it! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Sara!
