Tucson Vegetable Wrap ...Recipe from Restaurant
Vegetable Sandwich Recipe
Southwestern Influence


I first had this vegetable wrap at a restaurant in Tucson, Arizona when I was on vacation (a rare
occurrence). I enjoyed it so much I asked for the restaurant recipe. They respectfully declined
and I understood.


So when I returned home to my restaurant, I experimented until I thought I had it just right. I put
it on my daily special sheet and sold them out easily. I had another real restaurant recipe!

Cooking Conversion Table


Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 tablespoon salsa
1/4 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
2 slices tomato
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup spinach leaves
1/4 cup shredded carrots
One 10 inch chili-tomato flour tortilla


Instructions:
Mix together the sour cream and salsa and spread on the tortilla and then layer the remaining
ingredients on the tortilla
Fold in both sides and roll up tightly
Cut into two halves and serve


That's all there is to it! Having a really good salsa and quality Pepper Jack cheese are the two
most important things that make a difference between this restaurant recipe being "good" and
being a favorite restaurant recipe.
