CHEESEBURGER WRAPS
Wow, these were tasty! Simple idea, but tasty and the presentation is great with the grill marks on the tortilla wrap. I used a George Foreman type of indoor grill which gave the wrap those cool grill marks. My hubby immediately put a blob of butter on the warm wrap and I must say that is highly recommended! One wrap is all I needed along with a delicious salad. How about Chicken Bacon Ranch Wraps?

Layer about 3 tbsp (45 mL) shredded cheese down center of tortilla and about 1/3 cup (75 mL) warm, savory cooked beef. Add sliced tomatoes, ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise, if using.

Grill and carefully, using 2 spatulas if necessary, turn the wrap over to get the grill marks on the other side as well.
