These are quite filling at 209 calories each. The wrap-itz are pretty large, so they make a nice portion. They are also loaded with fiber. Great with a side of re-fried beans and a salad. I serve them with a dollop of low fat sour cream and salsa on the side. You could substitute fat-free cheeses for less calories, but that stuff doesn't tend to melt very well.
