Description

A tasty alternative to sandwiches for a lunchbox or picnic. Roast beef, chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, and seasonings are rolled in whole wheat tortillas and wrapped in tinfoil. East to transport, and neat to eat.

Ingredients

6 (12 inch) whole wheat tortillas
6 leaves romaine lettuce
1 1/4 pounds sliced roast beef
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 cup chopped red bell pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons ground cumin

Directions

1 For each roll-up, tear off about a 15 inch piece of wax paper or aluminum foil. Place the tortilla on the paper or foil. Place a romaine lettuce leaf on top of the tortilla. Add about 3 ounces of beef on top of the lettuce for each tortilla. Divide the tomatoes, red and yellow bell peppers, oil, vinegar and cumin over each tortilla.
2 Begin rolling the paper or foil over the tortilla to encase the filling. Roll until the sandwich is completely rolled up. To eat, peel back the paper or foil.
