Spicy Hams & Cheese Rolls

Buh-bye, boring lunch! Spread wrap with mustard, then top with cheese and ham. Add veggies and tomatoes to just half of wrap; roll up starting on that side (so they end up in the middle!). Cut into six rolls. Pack in a Tupperware container.
so some of these i'd have to 'fix' to my eating abilities...as spicy/acidy and my poor tummy don't go well together, but that's an easy fix. i'm really wanting to try the burrito, minus the tomatoes(yeah my tummy is that sensitive). hope you try one of these and again, seventeen mag has yummy little healthy lunches all the time, that is where these are from :)
