I love discovering new items at the grocery store that can add variety and creativity to my kitchen. One such item found its way to my home after a recent trip to the local market. Called "Flat Outs", they remind me of elongated tortillas that have a consistency not unlike pita bread. Of course, the pita consistency got me thinking about how I could use these new finds to make a wrap sandwich with a Mediterranean flair.
So I opened the refrigerator and started foraging for dinner. Out on the counter went some thinly sliced mesquite pork (leftovers from a weekend roast), some crumbled feta, a tub of low fat yogurt, a container with some hummus I'd made as a snack yesterday afternoon and some assorted vegetables. I looked at the group of items sitting on my counter and I knew it was only moments before dinner would be served -- fresh and delicious and quick. What more can you ask for? Maybe a nice cold drink and a few chips to enjoy alongside!
