Easy Wraps & Pizza

Here are some ideas when you need an easy & quick to prepare meal.

Wraps are versatile as you can put in just about anything to make up a delicious & nutritious meal. Try a tortilla with a bed of greens & avocado slices, topped with chicken breast and mushroom, onion & mustard sauce; roll it all up and lunch is ready within minutes.

How about one with fish? Start by pan frying salmon burgers, onions & mushrooms. Assemble the wrap with salad leaves, add on sliced pieces of salmon burger, tomatoes, and finish with the fried onions & mushrooms.

When you are not in a rush, but don't want to work too hard for your meal, try a pizza. For thin crispy crust, you can use a tortilla for the base; otherwise you can just use regular pizza base.

I tried something a bit more exotic the other day - Escargot Four Cheese Pizza. First, mix escargot with garlic herb butter and stuff into button mushrooms; bake for 10 minutes. Spread a thin layer of Four Cheese pasta sauce onto the tortilla or pizza base, then slice up the escargots & mushrooms and distribute evenly over the prepared base. Sprinkle some diced tomatoes and shredded cheese on top and bake for 20 to 30 minutes. Not a lot of preparation required, and even had time to be a couch potato before dinner. Easy clean up afterwards as well, so all-in-all a lazy relaxed evening . . .
