Tortilla Addict

I love meals that involve tortillas!  Wraps, fajitas, quesadillas, breakfast burritos, you name it.  I used to eat a ham and cheese quesadilla every day as my after-school snack.  I took it to the next step during college, tortillas were my one staple food - I would even eat PB&J on my tortillas.

Fortunately, I've grown past my tortilla addiction.  But sometimes, you just have to revert back to an old favorite, or give it a new twist.

This combination of flavors and textures is definitely worth repeating!  Can you believe I pulled off another vegetarian meal without any complaints?

Mushroom & Asparagus Wrap


In a skillet, sautee mushrooms, onions and garlic.


In another skillet, sautee asparagus, sliced tomatoes, garlic and sprinkle with veggie seasonings.


Prepare your tortillas with a layer of avocado and a handful of shredded cheese.

Next, simply pile on the asparagus and tomatoes, followed by the mushrooms and onions!


Wrap it up, or eat it like a taco, however you prefer!


Don't forget dessert! I had a serving of vanilla yogurt, topped with blueberries, blackberries, crumbled graham crackers, and peanuts!

Did you notice anything missing in my dessert?  That's right - chocolate.  No, I didn't go all day without my chocolate fix - I actually had an Attune bar for a snack earlier and it satisfied my daily craving!


These are probiotic bars.  Most everyone has heard of antibiotics, whose job is to kill bad bacteria.  A probiotic is basically the exact opposite of antibiotics - it is a dose of live microorganisms that are healthy for your digestive and immune systems.  Attune bars have a very reasonable amount of calories, 3-4g of fiber, and are obviously great sources of probiotics and calcium!  There's also only a few grams of sugar!

Of course, don't expect it to taste like a hunk of Dove chocolate (my favorite).  My personal opinion of the Attune bar is that it tastes healthy and chocolatey, too.  If you consider the health benefits, this is a great option to consider when you're craving a snack.

What's your favorite meal that involves a tortilla?
My favorite is probably fajitas!  Or, ya know I could just eat the tortilla all by itself!

  2. The mushroom and asparagus wrap looks delicious. We often do vegan burritos with home made chipotle sauce, brown rice, refried beans, pico de gallo & more...
