Take-out Tuesday, Romaine Wraps
The hit of the holidays were these Romaine Wraps
Filled with a combo of cranberries, blue cheese, pecans and bacon,
they disappeared rapidly!
We had these for our Citrus Bowl party on New Years Day
And I made a tortilla wrap with the extra filling for lunch the next day
If you aren’t a fan of blue cheese, substitute any flavorful cheese you like…
It’s the combination of sweet, salty, savory and tangy that delights your tastebuds
Scissors make quick work of chopping bacon
Chop the pecans and put them into a bowl with the cranberries, crumbled blue cheese {or grated cheese} and bacon
Give the bowl a couple of squirts of honey
Stir to mix and combine, adding just enough honey for the ingredients to hold together
Place the mixture in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve
Cut crisp romaine into 2 inch pieces and place a dollop of filling on top
These hold well at room temperature for several hours
I had some filling left over so I made a wrap for lunch
Spread a little salad dressing on a flour tortilla or sandwich wrap,
load it up with the filling and some lettuce leaves,
Roll up and enjoy!
Cut your wrap in half to serve
This appetizer is a winner in many categories
It goes together in minutes,
holds well, light but satisfying,
and guests love bite size apps that they can easily grab!
This recipe is adapted from Endive Boats with Bacon, Walnuts, Cranberries & Gorgonzola from The Sea Salt
