Citro food tip

Wraps can be used for easy dinner and lunches, and you can turn them into burritos, pizza, quesadillas and even tortilla cups. A wide variety of wraps are now available at the supermarket, including gluten-free and high-protein or high-fibre wraps. Mountain bread can also be used in place of wraps.
