Even though I only eat chicken and fish, Im trying to cut back on meat consumption because its expensive and there are many benefits to a diet rich in plants.
A diet rich in plant foods may help prevent cancer and is proven to lower the risk of heart disease.
If you have diabetes, a plant rich diet is often high in fiber which helps control blood glucose levels.

Ingredients:
- 1 large La Tortilla Factory Wrap
- 1 Wedge queso flavored Laughing Cow Cheese
- 1/2 cup fat free refried beans
- 1 cup peppers (frozen mixed pepper blend)
- 1/4 cup salsa
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread cheese on wrap followed by beans and salsa. Close the wrap and put in a shallow oven safe cooking dish. Pour 1 cup peppers (frozen or fresh) next to the wrap in the oven safe dish. Cook for 20 minutes. Flip the wrap half way through cooking to help crisp all sides of the tortilla.
Variations to this recipe include:
- Substituting the Laughing Cow Cheese wedge with 1/4 cup blenderized (pureed) fat free cottage cheese
- Adding salsa to the top of the tortilla to make it more like a bean and cheese enchilada
- Cook the peppers first then add them to the inside of the tortilla.
