PER SERVING (6 pieces): 143 calories, 2.5g fat, 506mg sodium, 27g carbs, 10g fiber, 3g sugars, 10g protein |
1 medium low-fat flour tortilla (about 110 calories with at least 6g fiber)
¼ cup chopped red bell peppers
½ cup fresh spinach (stems removed)
1 tablespoon chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped scallions
1 tablespoon fat-free cream cheese
¼ teaspoon ranch seasoning mix, dry
In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and ranch seasoning until smooth and mixed thoroughly.
Microwave tortilla until slightly warm. Lay the tortilla on a flat surface and evenly spread cream cheese mixture on top of it.
Place spinach, red peppers, scallions, and tomatoes evenly over cheese layer. Very tightly roll the tortilla up from one end to the other, creating a pinwheel of layers, as opposed to a burrito. Wrap the tortilla securely in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
When you're ready to eat, remove the plastic wrap and cut off both ends of the wrap (where the tortilla does not fully wrap around). Slice the rest of the wrap into 6 circular pieces. Enjoy!
