Mexican Roll-Ups
From The American Diabetes Association's Flavorful Seasons Cookbook
ADA Bookstore: 1-800-232-6733
Prep: 15 min.
  • 6 whole wheat flour tortillas, 12 inch
  • 6 large Romaine lettuce leaves
  • 1-1/4 lbs. cooked roast beef, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup tomatoes, diced
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/2 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 3 Tbs. red wine vinegar
  • 2 tsp. cumin

For each roll-up, tear off about a 15 inch piece of either waxed paper or aluminum foil. Place the tortilla flat on the paper or foil. Place a romaine lettuce leaf on top of the tortilla. Add 3 ounces beef on top of the lettuce. Divide the tomatoes, peppers, oil, vinegar and cumin over the beef for each roll-up. Begin rolling the paper or foil over the tortilla to encase the filling. Roll until the sandwich is completely rolled up. Fold the excess paper or foil over the top and bottom of the roll-up. To eat, peel back the paper or foil.

Note: Ideally diabetics should meet with a professional dietitian to plan an individualized diet plan. There is no single diet that meets all the needs of everyone with diabetes.
