Healthier Taco Wrap

 First I mixed 1 1/2 Cups of  plain Greek Yogurt with a low sodium taco seasoning packet. Stored it in a container in my fridge for easy use. It tastes amazing!

1 Spinach Wrap (or wrap of choice)
1/2 Cup of Black Beans
Fresh Avocado ( I mashed up 2 and squeezed in half a lemon- to keep from browning)
Shredded Lettuce
2 % Shredded Cheddar Cheese
Taco Sauce

Easy! I mixed it all on my wrap and had a delicious meal! I put what I didn't us in the fridge for another meal.


I got the idea of this from "Dr. Oz's 7 Layer Fat-Fighting Dip" Which I also plan to make!
 4 cups shredded lettuce 
 3 medium ripe avocados mashed and mixed with 2 tbsp lemon juice 
 1 1/2 cup Greek yogurt mixed with 1 package low-sodium taco seasoning mix 
 1 can black beans 
 3 medium diced tomatoes 
 2 cans sliced olives - 8 oz 2% cheddar cheese. 

Directions: starting with the lettuce on the bottom of a bowl, add each layer on top of the next, ending with sprinkling the cheese on top. alternate one celery stick with each whole grain chip to cut your calories in half.
