Moroccan chicken wraps make for a low fat, tasty lunch. This recipe is great for people who are trying to keep their salt intake low as the flavor comes from the addition of several spices which blend together beautifully.
You can also add any of your favorite vegetables, which will get you nearer to the recommended five portions a day. The wraps are nutritionally balanced and rich in iron, calcium and zinc thanks to the spinach and almonds.
