Why not try a healthy wrap for lunch today ;




Chicken Asparagus Wraps with Basil Cream Sauce




Ingredients

For the Sauce:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup diced green onion 
1/2 teaspoon dry basil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt 

For the Wraps:
4 whole grain tortillas 
12 ounces asparagus, washed and trimmed
2 cups cooked, chopped chicken (rotisserie or canned works well)
1/2 cup diced cherry tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach (optional)

Directions:

In a small bowl, combine all of the sauce ingredients and mix well.  Chill until ready for use.

In a medium skillet, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil.  Reduce heat to medium and add the asparagus.  Cook covered for approximately 4 minutes or until asparagus is tender.  Drain asparagus.

To assemble wraps, spoon 1/4 cup sauce into center of each tortilla.  Divide asparagus evenly between the four tortillas and layer over sauce followed by 1/2 cup chicken, 1 1/2 tablespoons tomatoes, and 1/4 cup baby spinach (if using) on each tortilla.  Roll up the tortillas into wraps and enjoy immediately! Makes 4 wraps.
