Mediterranean Wrap

I just made this and it’s pretty good.  I’m eating it right now!

Ingredients:

Olive oil
Sea salt
Red onion strips
Red bell pepper strips
3-4 Asparagus
1/2 Avacado
Mozzerella cheese
Fresh spinach
2/3 c. water
1/3 c. Quinoa (Pronounced “Keen-wah”) or other similar grain
2 large spoonfuls plain non-sweetened yogurt
2 tsp. basil pesto
1 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Multi-grain wrap

Boil water for quinoa (2 part water to 1 part grain).  Add grain & cook over medium for 10-15 min until water is absorbed.  Meanwhile, saute onion in oil with salt until soft.  Add pepper for a few min, then asparagus.  Mix yogurt, pesto, vinegar & smear on wrap.  Add grains, sauteed veggies, mozzerella, avacado, spinach.  Wrap.  Eat.

Notes:
Serves 1.  As always, use what you have.  But don’t use mayo or sour cream instead of yogurt, because both of those need to die off the face of the earth.  Chicken strips would be good on here.

Also make sure you use a good balsamic vinegar, or at least a real one that has been aged in oak casks.  Some store brands (like at Walmart) aren’t real balsamic vinegars at all.  Schlotsky’s has the best vinegar I’ve ever tasted – just pop in their restaraunt & buy a bottle off the shelf.  It’s very sweet & flavorful.  Huge bottle for about $8 (a pretty good price for that size & quality).

P.S. Sorry for lack of posts the past few months – no internet at home for a while.
