LIFE AT THE END OF A DIRT ROAD IN CENTRAL MINNESOTA

Today was especially busy, so I needed to get lunch on the table pronto. This turkey hummus and cucumber wrap from Clean Eating came through timewise and tastewise… really nice mix of flavors. I used Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain Tortillas that have 5 grams fiber and 6 grams protein. Many brands have only 1 gram fiber. Add some summer berries and dig in. 

Turkey hummus and cucumber wrap 

Turkey Hummus and Cucumber Wrap

Makes 6 servings (1 serving=one whole tortilla, filled, rolled, then cut in half to make two chunks).

1 tbsp red wine vinegar

1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

heaping ¼ tsp dried oregano leaves

1 clove garlic, minced

½ tsp Dijon mustard

¼ tsp pepper

1 romaine heart, cut into 1/2–inch strips (should yield about 4 cups)

6 8-inch-diameter whole wheat tortillas (I used Ezekiel Sprouted Grain.)

1 8-oz. container hummus (I've substituted pesto, also.)

8 oz sliced roasted white turkey  

1 unpeeled cucumber, sliced

In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, oil, oregano, garlic, Dijon, and pepper. Add romaine and toss. Set aside. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface and spread hummus. Working down the center, top with turkey, cucumber slices, and lettuce. Roll the tortilla to make a tight bundle. Secure with a toothpick if necessary. Repeat with remaining tortillas. *Note: I made a full recipe of dressing, mixed ½ of it with 2 cups lettuce, and refrigerated the remaining dressing and lettuce to mix together later for a meal on another day.
