Mysty PfefferA wrap is my favorite go-to, easy meal after a long day. Not only is a wrap convenient, but it is also delicious and easy to make. You can find three of my favorites by clicking here! Every week, I set aside a couple of hours to prepare these tortillas, chop my vegetables, and prepare my fresh mayo, and sauces for the days to come. Another plus for thinking ahead is, we won’t’ miss out on any nutrition!
We need good fuel to get our cells ready for the work we have to do. Moreover, the principles of eating whole food, with something raw, and something fermented helps us maintain microbial gut health. This task is also easily accomplished with a wrap.
And, Oh!…My goodness… What God puts in the garden is good!
I’m always humbled by His thoughtfulness and awed by His wonderful provision.
Devotion
Psalm 37 shows you and I an example of his provision, while holding onto hope, when times are tough. Although Israel saw days of hardship and were overcome by enemies, the Psalmist reminds them, the wicked only appear to prosper. God see’s everything they do, and they will be “cut off”. However, those who follow God and remain upright, have a future of peace. They also have abundance during famine.
As you and I look around at the abundance of material things, activities, and values of our society, we see things becoming less available and prices doubling; however, me can take comfort knowing, God’s children are not forsaken. The promise in this passage for Israel, and I believe us, is we will not have to beg for bread any more than they did.
I’m sad to say we do, however, face a famine of nutritious bread when we rely on man-made items with bleached flour and preservatives!
I have been young, and now am old,
yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
or his children begging for bread.
He is ever lending generously,
and his children become a blessing.
Psalm 37:24-26 ESV – though he fall, he shall not be cast – Bible Gateway

- The multigrain wrap is so full of fiber, protein and nutrients you’ll love this simple combination for increased omega 3 and less inflammation.
- Prepare the zucchini relish by shredding one zucchini, 1/2 red onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or whatever vinegar you have on hand), and 1 chopped banana pepper.
- I layer the relish over the tortilla, spread on some fresh baby kale, then the tuna, and top with more zucchini relish. It’s fabulous.
5. Ground Turkey & Shredded Veggie Wrap
- Heat a skillet to medium and sauté a lean, made by you turkey sausage until done. Don’t fret, all you have to do is add a clove of fresh minced garlic, 1/2 fresh minced onion, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp coriander, and 1/2 tsp ground celery to the one pound of ground turkey.
- In a separate dish, shred a carrot, a yellow beat, one zucchini, half a cucumber, and half a red onion. Place your tortilla on the plate spread a little honey mustard sauce over the bottom, top with fresh salad greens, the turkey sausage, then the shredded veggies. If you’re like me, you can’t eat just one!
6. Steak & Spinach Wrap
- Heat your skillet to medium heat and add your favorite sliced steak. Sauté until tender and your preferred doneness.
- In a separate bowl combine fresh spinach, shredded carrots, shredded beats, fresh steam broccoli, and fresh steamed snap peas.
- Serve over your favorite multigrain tortilla with tzatziki sauce or chili sauce.
7. Beef & Beet Wrap on a Multi -Grain Wrap
- Heat a skillet to medium heat, mix the 1 Lb of lean ground beef with 1 clove of garlic, salt, and pepper, and form into patties.

- Place the tortilla on a plate, apply a tablespoon of fresh mayonnaise or mustard, cover with fresh salad greens, the burger and a shredded beat or red cabbage slaw. You will enjoy all the pleasure of a burger without any of the guilt.
8. Cod Fish & Fresh Greens Wrap
I love fish and the milder the flavor the better. Two of my favorites are cod and mahi-mahi. They both cook quickly and are wonderful in a wrap.
- Heat your skillet to medium. Season the cod with 1/2 tsp each, onion powder, fresh oregano, chili powder, and pepper. Sauté 1 Lb of cod or mahi-mahi in a little avocado oil for 10 minutes in a medium heat skillet or until done inside).
- Place your wrap on the plate, apply a tablespoon of tzatziki sauce (1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tsp fresh minced garlic, 2 tbsp. shredded cucumber, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp fresh dill or parsley).
- Cover the multigrain tortilla with fresh greens, the fish, and top with sliced avocado.
9. Allmond Veggie Wrap with Butternut Squash Sauce
- Use a tablespoon of prepared butternut squash on the bottom of your multigrain tortilla (I bake mine on my prep day and store it in the fridge to heat as needed).
- Top with spinach, kale, or whatever fresh greens you have on hand.
- Top with your favorite fermented vegetables, kimchi or a cauliflower blend is wonderful!
- Next, scatter on the slivered almonds and enjoy!
10. Sauteed Cabbage & Lamb
- In a medium skillet sauté 1/2 head of cabbage, 1/2 onion, 2 sliced carrots, 1 clove of garlic, and 2 mushrooms until just tender.
- In a separate skillet prepare lamb chops or sliced steak as you normally do until done.
- Place a dollop of avocado dressing on a multigrain tortilla (the dressing is 1 whole avocado, 1 minced clove of garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper, the juice of 1/2 lemon, and 1 spoon olive oil).
