Starting the List... with a Wrap?

Well today I started chipping away at my list and I didn't even realize I was doing it until half way through! Tonight I made a new recipe, which would be one out of twenty five for goal number nineteen, but I caught myself off guard with this recipe because there actually wasn't a recipe at all...

A while back some friends and I went out to dinner at William Penn Tavern in Shadyside. I ordered a veggie wrap. The description of the wrap listed it as being veggies sautéed with balsamic vinaigrette, but I asked to have a chopped turkey burger added to the wrap as well. It was delicious! I had never thought to order a veggie wrap but I loved it- and it was healthy! I figured it was something I could easily replicate at home. So tonight, with the boyfriend away on a fishing trip, I thought I would give it a shot.

First, I cut up a bunch of veggies and sautéed them in olive oil. I used leeks, red and green bell peppers, carrots, zucchini, and mushrooms. I also added in some garlic, salt, and pepper. Then, since I didn't have turkey burgers handy, I added in one can of chicken breast, drained. I let the whole thing simmer and heat up, then I topped it with about 2 tablespoons of Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette. I stuffed it into a tortilla, added a little bit of shredded mozzarella, and had myself a wrap! It was so good! I even had enough for three more servings so I will be taking it for lunch tomorrow.








The great thing about this dish is it's versitility. You could literally use any veggies you have in your fridge- I would have loved some broccoli or snap peas in mine. Then, you can serve it multiple ways. I really enjoyed it in a wrap but I think it would be great over pasta or rice as well. I am really glad I tried this. It got me cooking with something new, the vinagrette, and is a healthy meal for me (only 2 WW points per serving!) I will definitely be cooking this for the boy some day soon!
