Can you suggest healthy, tasty fillings for lunch time wraps?

I'm doing my best to avoid horrible, harmful over eating as I desperately want to lose weight, and have found that a wrap is a great lunch to keep me full all afternoon. Sandwiches/baguettes tend to sit in my stomach and make me feel stodgy. My favourite so far is a small amount of Turkey breast covered in fajita spice with onion, lettuce and a little bit of mayo.

Looking for some new ideas so I can keep up the good eating habit and save money when I go back to school in September by not buying lunch every day.

I like tuna mayo in a wrap.
You could put anything in really, cheese salad, coronation chicken, prawn mayo etc

I spread one half with houmus, the other half with taramasalata. Then I sprinkle over grated carrot & halved olives, and sometimes a sprinkling of sweetcorn. Then I roll it up and cut in half so one half is houmussy, the other one is taramasalataey & pin each one with a cocktail stick to hold it together.

Delicious!

DH likes bbq sauce mixed with mayo spread on the wrap with spring onions, thinly sliced peppers and chicken or turkey, caramelized onions and bacon, pesto spread onto the wrap and filled with roasted vegetables or chicken and salad drizzled with sweet chilli sauce.

A friend makes cottage cheese with pineapple or pate and tomatoes.

I love to back the wrap around a wire sieve and use it as a basket to fill with salad.
