South Beach Living Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap Sandwich Kit Review

I so enjoyed the free South Beach Living Southwestern Chicken Wraps which Peapod sent me as a sample, that I used one of the enclosed 75-cent coupons to try South Beach Living Grilled Chicken Caesar Wrap Sandwich Kit.  This is another South Beach product which doesn't taste like a healthier alternative but is just delicious.

The components of the kit include two Harvest Wheat Tortillas, a packet each of Louis Rich Grilled Chicken Breast Cuts with Rib Meat and Kraft Parmesan Cheese Shreds, a pouch of Kraft Light Done Right! Classic Caesar Reduced Fat Dressing, and a small sealed dish of cherry-flavored Jell-O.  You spread a little dressing on each tortilla, top with the chicken and Parmesan cheese, and pop into the microwave for about 30 seconds.  Wait a few minutes, then roll them up and enjoy!

The kit will make two wraps which added together are considered to be a single serving containing 230 calories with 100 calories from fat.  There are 11 grams total fat, four and a half grams saturated fat, zero trans fat, two grams polyunsaturated fat, three and a half grams monounsaturated fat, 55 mg. cholesterol, 820 mg. sodium, 22 grams total carbs, 14 grams dietary fiber, less than one gram of sugar, and 24 grams of protein.

Some of these counts may seem a tad high -- for instance, the sodium -- but here is the great thing about these kits ... YOU put them together and control how much of each thing goes in.  Doubtless, it is the Caesar dressing which accounts for a major part of the sodium but these wraps are fine if you use only a little of that dressing -- just enough to spread a thin film down the center of each tortilla is all you need, thereby producing a much healthier dish.

TASTE TIP:

Ah HAH!, you thought I was going to sneak a little tomato in here, didn't you!!!  As you can guess, I couldn't resist doing something to these things but this time I finely chopped a green onion and spread on top of the cheese before heating and it turned out great.
