I got really fed up with all the extra calories that come with just one tortilla, let alone if I want more so I came up with this idea after eating a beef and cabbage dish one night.
Warning-these are messy when eaten!
You'll need:
One head of large leafed lettuce
One can of low sodium black beans
Low fat mozarella cheese
Salsa
and Low fat (I like daisy the best) sour cream
To prepare:
Cook beans over low heat until warm, stir in mozarella to desired consistency
Using lettuce leaf as a wrap spoon in warm, gooey bean mix, salsa, and sour cream. Fold up and enjoy!

Hey they do make some low cal wheat tortillas...
There called: Buena Vida for low carb diets.
Nutrition facts.
1 tortilla
calories 70
total fat 4g
250 mg sodium
I have tried other wheat tortillas and not liked most of them. These are really light compared to the others that I have had.
Your version certainly is more healthy than mine. But, thought I would share the info.

| Thanks for the info cport, I'll have to try those. Like you said I've tried wheat tortillas before and they're just kinda blah.

| Sounds good! I might have to try this, but without the sour cream. I wonder how tacos would taste wrapped in lettuce instead of a shell...

LOL! I guess that's true. Whenever I eat a taco it usually ends up as a salad anyway, since I'm such a messy eater!
