owen

I can’t take the credit for this one. One of my co-workers, Greg, ordered something like this when we were out for lunch one day, and I ordered one too.

It’s a pretty simple construction, and I’ve made a couple of slight changes to the original wrap due to the materials available and the calorie content. Anyway, it starts with a whole wheat and cheddar wrap shell. I put a bit of horseradish dijon mustard on the shell, then laid a single piece of green leaf lettuce on top. For meat, today I used turkey and ham, but I’d consider all turkey like yesterday’s. I’m not a ham fan.

On top, fresh sliced and halved tomatos, and - the key to the project - fresh sliced jalapenos. The whole wrap is pretty spicy, depending on what kind of mustard you use, but the jalapenos take it up the notch that make the wrap special.

You know I don’t usually write “what I had for lunch” posts, so you know that this is something special. When my life is filled with endless Hot Pockets (I just bought two weeks worth last night, ugh), something fresh and springlike like this is extraordinary to me.

I can’t wait until our garden ripens to use some of those home-grown veggies in this fantastic wrap recipe.
