Wrap it up!

Each member of the Shepherd SCI-A (Spinal Cord Injury Unit) crew seemed to have their own individual plan for health and fitness in 2009. Many ladies joined the Weight Watchers group. One is doing South Beach. Lots of the RNs are working out on days off, with or without a workout buddy. Me? I'm in an eternal state of trying to eat healthy and work out.

One of my coworkers has added wraps into her daily lunches. At first they were wrapped in flout tortillas, but in the interest of eating "low carb," she's been just making lettuce wraps. Here is my delicious GF version. While it involves a few repeat ingredients from sandwich posts, its a healthy choice and a good way to change up the average sandwich.

When using corn tortillas, you must warm them up on a very slightly greased pan before trying to fold/wrap them, or they will break. Make sure when you pull the lettuce leaves off of the head of lettuce, you realease the base of the lettuce leaf to avoid too much tearing.

Salami Wrap
Layer toegher:
* 1 corn tortilla
* 1 teaspoon GF mayo
* lettuce
* 4-5 thin slices of salami

Chicken Wrap
Layer together:
* 1 corn tortilla
