BLACK BEAN WRAP – QUICK AND EASY LUNCH

My daughter’s school had a two-hour delay and then I had to rush off to a dentist appointment. By the time I returned home I had only a few minutes to throw together a quick lunch before I faced an afternoon full of meetings. Times like these are when we want to reach for something easy and satisfying and are most susceptible to making poor choices.

Ingredients

• 1 large tortilla (whole grain or gluten-free)
• 1/3 cup salsa (I like Chi Chi’s Thick and Chunky – Mild)
