I have been married to a wonderful Christian man since 1976. The Lord has blessed us with two daughters and two sons. I consider each day the Lord gives me on the earth yet another chance to serve Him.

Healthy Chicken Fijita Wrap

So good.  Easy to make.    If you don't like the low-carb-whole-wheat tortillas, go with flour or corn (but the calorie count will go up).  I like to have a bowl of fresh fruit to go along with it.
