Instead of a Meat Sandwich, Try These Vegetable and Rice Wraps for a Healthy Sandwich Alternative

I personally don't care much for sandwiches as I am not very fond of meat

. No special reason, I just don't much care for meat. So I love this sandwich alternative of a Vegetable and Rice Wrap. The beans in this recipe replace the protein you would get in meat. Make it even tastier with one of the flavored wraps available on the market today instead of the tortillas. It is diabetic friendly, too, using brown rice instead of white rice. Make this wraps for a light lunch, easy dinner, or to share with friends while watching your favorite team on your TV.

VEGETABLE AND RICE WRAPS

1 small to medium bell pepper, seeded and diced

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp canola oil

2 cups cooked brown rice

1 can (approx 1 lb. size) chickpeas or kidney beans, rinsed

1 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed

1/3 cup chopped green onions

1/2 tsp ground cumin

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp salt, optional

6 8-inch flour tortillas, warmed

1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese

3/4 cup mild salsa

In a large nonstick skillet heat the canola oil. Add the bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and garlic; saute until the veggies are tender. Add the cooked rice, chickpeas OR kidney beans, corn, green onions, cumin, pepper, and salt (if using). Cook, while stirring, for around 5 minutes or until heated through. Divide the mixture evenly among the six tortillas. Sprinkle with the cheese and drizzle with salsa. Fold one end over then fold the sides of the tortilla over to make a wrap. Best if served immediately.

Enjoy!
