Cajun Style Beef Wrap

Cajun Style Beef Wrap

I love this wrap, because using steak gives lunch a little facelift from the normal turkey or tuna. This is a great source of protein, which helps Kaylee get through her day since she eats lunch at 10:30 in the morning. It tastes fantastic, and is packed full of all sorts of good vitamins and minerals.

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces thinly sliced steak
  • 1/4 cup onion, sliced thin (about half of a medium sized onion)
  • 1/4 cup green pepper, sliced thin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 1 large whole wheat tortilla

Method
 

  1. Before you leave home, brown the steak in a skillet over medium heat (about 3 to 4 minutes). Add onion, green pepper, and spices. Sauté until flavors are blended (about 3 to 4 more minutes). Remove from heat.
  2. Chop lettuce and slice tomato and place in a food safe container. Place beef mixture in a separate food safe container. Wrap tortilla in plastic wrap or foil.
  3. When you get hungry, place the tortilla on the plate and spoon the beef mixture along the middle. Sprinkle lettuce over the beef and add the tomato. Make a small fold at the bottom, then fold the sides of the tortilla over the middle to close up the wrap.
  4. If work has a break room, you can microwave on medium for about 25 seconds to warm, if desired.
