Recipe: Spicy Mediterranean Wraps

These wraps are easy to prepare and have a little kick in them. (And, you can finish off the can of pineapple from yesterday's Honey Chicken & Pineapple recipe too! lol)

To make the spread:

3 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Italian dressing

Have the cream cheese as soft as possible, then add the Italian dressing and mix well. Set aside for a few minutes.

soft tortillas
1 pound steak/beef cut, sliced into 1/2" strips
1/2 cup pineapple chunks
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, pressed & chopped
1 teaspoon montreal steak seasoning
3/4 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese


Using a large pan, heat the olive oil with the garlic and 1 teaspoon montreal steak seasoning. Add in the steak, cook for 2 minutes, then turn and cook another 2 minutes. Add the pineapple chunks and pepper. Cook for several more minutes until the steak is done and the vegetables are hot.


Spread the cream cheese mix on a warmed up tortilla. Follow with the spinach:


Then the vegetables and beef mix, followed by the shredded pepper jack cheese. Pepper Jack that's already shredded is harder to find, and I know this is more time consuming, but I recommend you buy a brick and shred your own for this dish - normally packaged shredded cheese has a powdery anti-cake agent added to it - if you shred your own, it melts faster than the packaged stuff. I promise, it's worth it. :)


Roll the tortilla, and cut it in half if desired.
