BBQ Steak Wrap

Here's a simple recipe with a lot of good-for-you stuff that's very tasty. One wrap is very filling if you use whole wheat tortillas so you won't need to eat several to feel full.

4 8-in whole wheat or fat-free tortillas
2 c baby spinach
1 c frozen corn, thawed
1 c black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 c reduced-fat cheddar cheese
2 c thinly sliced cooked steak OR cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast
4 Tbsp BBQ sauce (we recommend Sweet Baby Rays!)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Top each tortilla with spinach, corn, beans, cheese and meat. Drizzle BBQ sauce over and wrap up. Use a toothpick to hold in place if necessary. Heat through in a baking dish lightly coated with nonstick cooking spray until lightly browned, about 10 mins.

Yields 4 servings.
1 wrap = 340 cal, 8 g fat, 47 g carbs, 10 g fiber, 23 g protein

Chicken Provolone

I made this for dinner last night for the first time and it was very easy to make and very tasty!

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (4 oz each)
1/4 tsp pepper
butter-flavored cooking spray
8 fresh basil leaves (I sprinkled on dried basil instead)
4 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham
4 slices provolone cheese

Sprinkle chicken with pepper. In a large nonstick skillet coated with butter-flavored cooking spray, cook chicken over medium heat for 4-5 mins on each side or until juices run clear.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet; top with basil, prosciutto and cheese. Broil 6-8 inches from the heat for 1-2 mins or until cheese is melted.

Yields 4 servings.
1 chicken breast half = 236 cal, 11 g fat, 1 g carbs, trace fiber, 33 g protein.

Easy Searching

To make it easier to search for recipes I added labels to every recipe. This way if you're looking for something specific (for example, a dessert) you just have to click that label on the right side of the screen to see what dessert recipes I have. Happy Cooking!
