Favorite Sandwich Wraps

We all have our "go to" products.  Here is one of my new favorites:  La Tortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Soft Wraps in the Multi Grain variety.  They are also available in whole grain, white whole grain, and various other varieties (read more here).  

I've only seen the multi grain and white whole grain here on Maui and of the two, I preferred the multi grain (although both were good).  These are made in California so I'm not sure if they are available where you are.  If they are, they are definitely worth a purchase.  As you can see by the wrapper, they have a good dose of fiber, only 100 calories per wrap, low in fat, and not mentioned on the front-only 1 gram of sugar.  Oh, and they taste great room temperature or, my favorite, pan toasted a couple of minutes per side in a dry skillet.  La Tortilla has no idea I'm featuring their products by the way, I just like them so much I wanted to share!

Here is the wrap out of the package-you can see the flecks of grains and flax seeds.

And here is only one of the ways I enjoy them:  wrapped around some spinach, left over Greek Chicken, some tzatziki sauce, and slightly melted feta cheese.  Mmmm, mouth is watering as I type!

So what are some of your pantry favorites?

Recipe for Slow Cooker Steak Sammies

Here's another good recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking.  I'm all in to quick and easy these days and this recipe hits all its marks.  Two ingredients in the slow cooker (plus salt and pepper); seven hours later-a flavorful, aromatic, tender pile of beef and peppers just waiting to be plopped on some healthy whole wheat buns with some provolone or pepper Jack cheese.  Yummy!

Time: 5 minutes prep; 7 hours on low in slow cooker
Yield: 8 servings


Ingredients:

• 2 pound chuck roast


• 1 jar (16 ounces) sliced peperoncini


• Salt and pepper


• Pepper Jack and provolone cheese slices


• Whole wheat buns

Method:

• Trim all visible fat from chuck roast.


• Liberally salt and pepper the roast.


• Place roast in slow cooker.


• Pour peperoncini (including liquid) over roast.


• Cook on low for 7 hours.


• Remove and shred meat and then stir back into liquid.


• Toast buns under broiler with a slice of cheese on one half of bun.


• Using a slotted spoon so most of the liquid drains off, place meat on toasted bun and serve.

Are you cooking anything fun in the slow cooker?
