Healthy Back to School Meals with Tortillas

Posted on by Meredith

Fall is fast approaching and schedules are filling up with school and activities, making it difficult to prepare family-friendly meals and snacks.

Instead of resorting to boxed-meals and the drive-thru for convenience’s sake, stock up on better-for-you wraps from La Tortilla Factory for tasty & quick breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner options that make it easy to incorporate veggies, whole grains and fiber into your family’s diet.

La Tortilla factory has a wide array of wraps & tortillas that are low in calories and high in whole grains & fiber—with no hydrogenated oils.

 

 

Breakfast: Rise & Shine Tacos (recipe below). Make using La Tortilla Factory’s Hand Made Style Corn Tortillas.

Lunch:  Mini Rotisserie Chicken Wrap. Save the peanut butter for the after school snack.

After-School Snack: Banana Raisin Wrap. Sure, cookies are good, but are they good for you? Counter America’s cookie culture by whipping up this after-school treat with La Tortialla Factory’s Low Carb, High Fiber Tortillas. Since this tortilla was named one of the 125 “Best Foods For Women” by Women’s Health and acclaimed the “one and only low carb tortilla,” it’s a great snack for mom, too!

Dinner: BBQ Chicken Pizza. Give the delivery driver (and your checking account!) the night off with this power pizza that bakes in 5 minutes! Don’t have any leftover chicken? Substitute it with a healthy topping that your kids would never eat on its own!Use La Tortilla Factory’s NEW Smart & Delicious Soft Wrap Minis, which  have 4-6 grams of fiber and only 50 calories per wrap for a homemade mini pizza that can’t be matched!
