Notes: Insetad of using regular 10″ Tortillas and cutting them in half, I use 8 high fiber wheat tortillas from La Tortilla Factory (50 calories each, about 6″ with 8g fiber) and leave them whole. I cut the cheese in 4 pieces, and use 2 on each tortilla (same amount of cheese used total as the original recipe). I also add in some shredded lettuce to add some bulk, since its more tortilla. With my changes the wrap is more filling, 220 calories, 6.5g fat, and a whopping 11.7g fiber.
