I've learnt to be sooo creative on this diet.
Yesterday I was shopping and I got a lot of lettuce, and other salad items. I looked at the tortilla wraps and they looked SOOO good.
So....this is what I came up w/
Ingredients:
•Lettuce leaf(s)
•Tomato*-sliced
•Onion* -
•Any filling ( chicken/ beef / turkey Salami or bologna. Even roasted beef, chicekn breast minced, shrimp, go crazy)
•Any cheese that you would usually include in a wrap/ sandwich
•Mayo (if desired)
•Lemon Juice
•Oregano (optional)
•chopped cilantro
Directions:
1.Take the lettuce leaf and spread the mayo on. Cream cheese can also be used.
2. Sprinkle some lemon juice on the tomato, onion, oregano, cilantro, and cheese.
3. Lay the chicken/ meat/ beef , whatever, on your lettuce leaf.
4.Arrange the rest of the ingredients on top of the filling.
5.Wrap it up and seal it with two toothpicks on either sides
Voila!
You can cut it up into pieces, make a ton at one time and store it away, so you can have it as snacks.
Make sure you count your carbs:
Lunch meats such as beef bologna have about 0.7 carbs
Romaine Lettuce (a cup) contains about 0.7 carbs
A small tomato contains about 3.2 carbs
An onion contains 7.5 carbs
I'm sure you won't be using a whole cup of romaine lettuce, or a whole onion, so count accordingly.
Enjoy.
