Ahhh Friday, you are a most welcome friend. I hope that everyone is looking forward to the weekend ahead and that we can finally get more than 3 minutes of some sunshine around here. I’ve been longingly staring at my white jeans and open toed booties in my closet for a couple of weeks now and it’s only February. At this point I’ll take any weather that doesn’t require my coat big enough for an Alaskan winter.
EDIT: Watching the morning weather forecast and looks like more rain and clouds for the weekend. Be right back, putting those new booties away.
After indulging in many tasty treats during the Superbowl Weekend, it was time to get back on track this week. We were surprised to see how fast we were forced to get back on track as 2am Monday rolled around and hubs discovered he had food poisoning. Let me tell you- Gatorade, bananas, and chicken soup are a blessing. By Tuesday night he was feeling back to normal and Wednesday I wanted to make one of our favorite dinners to celebrate the fact he could eat more than just that trusty can of Campbell’s.
We don’t eat a lot of red meat but once in a while I think it’s important to get your iron fix and this recipe is a simple way to do it. There are very few ingredients and you can add whatever burger toppings you like! It’s WW friendly and uses Flatout Flatbreads for the wraps. They are only 2 WW points and 90 calories! I still have a hard time figuring out how bread that tastes this good doesn’t pack the extra carbs. We go through quite a few packages of these each month and use them for wraps, deli sandwiches, egg paninis, pizzas, and in this case- Cheeseburger Wraps.
The only thing I have to say about these wraps is that they taste EXACTLY like you were indulging in your favorite restaurant Cheeseburger. We often make a couple batches of these to keep for the week and they can easily be frozen. You can even make a bunch of these, cut them in half, and serve as mini burgers for a crowd appetizer. Serve with additional ketchup, mustard, chopped onions, etc.
*Note: Each wrap is 8 WW Smart Points
- -1 lb lean ground beef
- -1 tsp hamburger seasoning
- -1/2 cup mild shredded cheddar cheese
- -2 Laughing Cow Wedges - Swiss
- -2 tbs ketchup
- -1 tbs mustard
- -4 Flatout Flatbreads (any kind)
- -Any burger fillings you like! Diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, onions, and avocado would all be delicious!
- -Fully cook ground beef
- -Transfer ground beef to a large bowl and mix with hamburger seasoning, shredded cheese, laughing cow wedges, ketchup, and mustard
- -Spoon 1/4 of the ground beef mixture (and any additional toppings) on to a Flatout and roll in to a wrap, tucking in ends as you go
- -Place four wraps in a skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until each side begins to turn golden brown.
- -Enjoy!
Happy Weekend’ing! 😉
