Steak and Avocado Wrap

What's a better way to use leftover meat and veggies from your weekend bbq then roll  them up in soft tortilla shells and call it a wrap.

Who came up with wraps was a genius in my book. They are easy, delicious and quick. You can wrap just about anything.

My kids love wraps. I don't do sandwiches for school lunches anymore. Wraps are where it's
at......




I actually had requests from my older son's classmates to make some extra for them.

So for all of you parents out there.....your children WANT wraps in their lunch boxes.

Back to wraps. Last weekend we were having some steaks for supper. Since the weather is getting nice and soon it will be too hot to cook in my house I am getting myself into summer cooking mode.

Every time we grill steaks I always make couple extra to save some for steak wraps the next day or two.

The trick is to grilled them to medium even for those who like them medium-well and well. Otherwise they might end up tough and chewy.

I like to dress up steak wraps in many ways. Last week I was into using avocados and cheese.

Our steaks were full of taste from marinade and rub so they didn't require any special sauces inside the wrap. Simple sour cream did the trick.

Ingredients:
  • Leftover Steak (thin sliced)
  • 4 10" Soft Tortilla Shells
  • 1 cup Romaine Lettuce (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Avocado
  • 1/2 cup Tillamook Colby Jack Cheese (finely grated)

Spread some lettuce onto tortilla. Put few dollops of sour cream on top of it.


Layer thinly sliced steak.


Cut avocado into slices and place 1/4 on top of each tortilla with steak. Top it off with shredded cheese and roll.


Serve with fresh veggies or salad.
