I love tortillas! + Big Burger Ballyhoo 2007

I'll admit it - in college, I used to eat spaghetti in tortillas. What happier way exists to eat leftovers? Got me!

So imagine my joy in finding a (decently) healthy hamburger dinner in a tortilla? Puh-lease. Super-joy!

As you can see from the picture, I didn't get shredded pepper-jack, I just used sliced... and.. I think I added too much refried beans... but it made the broiled burger crunchy on the outside, which was nice. O, and of course, I over cilantro-ed it. I say, add/delete what you like, make it your own. :)

PS: At Lis's suggestion in the comments below, I have submitted this lovely burger wrap to Freya and Paul's:

Southwestern Beef & Bean Burger Wraps
http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/beef_bean_burger_wrap.html

12 ounces 93%-lean ground beef

1 cup refried beans

1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos

1 avocado, peeled and pitted

1/2 cup prepared salsa

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

4 whole-wheat tortillas, warmed (see Tip)

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1/2 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
1 lime, cut into 4 wedges

Position oven rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Coat a broiler pan with cooking spray.
Gently combine ground beef, beans, cilantro and jalapenos in a medium bowl (do not overmix). Shape into four 5-by-2-inch oblong patties and place on the prepared pan. Broil the patties until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F, 12 to 14 minutes.

Meanwhile, mash together avocado, salsa and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Spread each with the guacamole, then sprinkle with lettuce and cheese. Top each with a burger and roll into a wrap.

Serve immediately, with lime wedges.

TIP: To warm tortillas: Wrap in foil; bake at 300°F until steaming, about 5 minutes. Or wrap in barely damp paper towels and microwave on High for 30 to 45 seconds.
