The humble tortilla wrap can hold more filling than a regular sarnie but contains far fewer calories (depending on what you put in it, of course). The wholewheat version in this Greek-inspired recipe ups the health stakes by providing a hefty hit of low-GI slow-release carbohydrates, which will keep you feeling full for longer and help you avoid the temptation to snack in the afternoon. As one of the leanest, protein-packed meats available, the chicken in this wrap is also ideal for fat loss.
Ingredients
1 wholewheat tortilla
1 chicken breast
Handful of spinach leaves
½ a beef tomato, sliced
Pinch of tarragon
1tsp olive oil
1tbsp mayonnaise
1tsp mustard
Pinch of sweet paprika

How To Make It
Step 1: Season the chicken breast with the oil and tarragon.

Step 4: Place the wrap under the grill for 30 seconds each side.
Step 5: Spread the sauce over the wrap, fill it with the chicken, spinach and tomato and then wrap.
