Egg salad is another favorite of many children. But the amount of mayonnaise added to chopped eggs dramatically increases the unnecessary calories, fat and cholesterol.
RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Boil the eggs for about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water. Peel the eggs. Mash and add the celery, red pepper, green onions, mayonnaise and salt and pepper.
2. Divide the lettuce leaves between the 2 tortillas and place in the center of each. Divide the egg mixture and add. Fold in the sides and roll. Cut in half.
