Spinach Wrap

I bought a package of spinach wraps this weekend and have been trying out different wraps throughout the week. 
Monday: lettuce, tomatoes, peppers and cracked pepper with an oil based caesar dressing.
Tuesday: Rice, beans. tomatoes
Wednesday (pictured): pesto, rice, beans, tomatoes, avocado and cracked pepper
Tomorrow I'll be having lettuce, avocado, yellow potato and tomato

The rice I used is actually a broccoli cheddar Uncle Ben's mix I made this weekend for my roasted chicken. Living alone, I have lots of leftovers all the time so I was trying to think of inventive ways to use my rice.  Although it isn't mexican flavored rice it tastes just as good in a mexican-themed burrito. Spinach wraps also give your wrap a healthy look to onlookers and they are very delicious!

Spread a Tbs of pesto on the wrap- doesn't have to cover the entire wrap because you will be rolling it and the pesto will be in each bite.



Rice, beans, tomatoes, avocado and cracked pepper piled on!



I've gotten pretty good at rolling my wraps from all those burritos I see made at Chipotle. 

**The easiest way I find is to turn the far end of the wrap towards you, causing the contents to fall closer to you instead of being in the middle of the wrap.  Next, fold the sides in about an inch and with a good grasp on the wrap, flip the wrap over (while holding the sides in) and pull back towards you so that the contents are packed in.  You should have about 2 inches left for the wrapping part. Finishing rolling the wrap and roll it in some tinfoil for transport to the work/school fridge!
