Ginger Skirt Steak or Chicken Wrap
- 1- 8 oz. skirt steak or 2- 4 oz chicken breasts
- 1 avocado, halved and sliced
- ½ cup shredded carrot
- 2 romaine lettuce leaves (or lettuce of your choosing)
- 1 Tbs. fresh ginger, grated
- 1 whole orange, zested and juiced
- 1 tsp. fresh thyme, chopped
- Olive oil
- 1 (10 in.) Ezekiel or Gluten-free wraps
Marinate steak or chicken in ginger, orange and thyme for up to 2 hours, grill and cut into ¼ inch slices to serve. To assemble the wraps, lay the warmed tortilla out and fill with lettuce, shredded carrot, steak or chicken, and avocado. Roll tightly. Alternative: Instead of tortillas, substitute Napa cabbage leaves. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for 10 seconds and immediately place in ice-cold water. Once cooled, drain on paper towel. You may need two or more leaves overlapped to attain the equivalent size of tortilla. Assemble as directed above.
Rice Tortilla Chips
- 1 pkg. Food for Life brown rice tortillas
- Olive oil spray
- Sea salt
- Herb blend of your choice
Use a pizza cutter; slice each tortilla into 12 wedges. Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet you have sprayed with olive oil. Spray top of wedges as well and sprinkle with salt and herb blend. Toast in a 450 degree oven until browned and very crispy. You will have to do several batches. Put the toasted chips in a large container that can be tightly sealed, after they have cooled, to keep them crisp.
