Quesadillas, Wraps, and Salads! Oh My!

I've been back on the health wagon when it comes to eating.  I have been eating a lot more flat type breads than ones with years.  I have been rocking wraps, salads, and quesadillas as of late...Now salads are kind of idiot proof so I am not going to go into those.  I have been experimenting with wraps and quesadillas.
