Southwest Spicy Whole Wheat Wrap

Wraps are a wonderful meal for a busy mom (or whoever you may be).  I try to make three or four at a time and then wrap them in cellophane and store them in the fridge.  I can grab them at a moment's notice and instantly have an easy, tasty, and portable meal.
 
For this wrap, I started by smearing some avocado on my whole wheat wrap, and then layering chopped cilantro on top.  (By the way, make sure you chop the cilantro.  The first time I made this I just put long strips of cilantro in the wrap and when I took a bite, I had a hard time chewing through the stems and long streamers of gooey cilantro came sliding out.  Very embarrassing.)
Squeeze a small bit of lime onto the wrap.
 
Add a slice of chicken breast (or shredded chicken) along with a fresh bell pepper, a sprinkling of sharp cheddar cheese, and a bit of hot sauce (Sriracha is my favorite.)
 
 Such a colorful meal!


If I am not going to eat this wrap right away, I roll it in cellophane and put a slice of lime in between the layers of cellophane.  I don't add the lime juice till right before I eat it so the tortilla doesn't get slimy.
