Ground Beef Stuffed Tortillas [Bulkbites.com]

• Servings: 1
• Time: 35 minutes

Here is a delicious light snack recipe. Whole wheat, soft tortilla stuffed with seasoned ground beef then folded and baked in oven until crisp. This super tasty and crispy snack is loaded with lean protein, complex carbohydrate and fiber. I prefer to add Italian herbs and olives in the stuffing to get my dose of anti oxidants as stuffing is highly experimental.
