Quick and easy

Turkey, Bacon, and Guacamole Wraps

1 ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and mashed
1 tablespoon taco sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
4 tortillas
8 oz. thinly sliced cooked turkey
8 slices precooked bacon
4 romaine lettuce leaves
1/4 cup drained roasted red bell pepper (from 7-oz. jar), large pieces cut up

In small bowl, mix avocado, taco sauce and garlic salt.  Spread about 1 tablespoon avocado mixture on each tortilla.  Top tortillas with turkey; spread with any remaining avocado mixture.  Top with bacon, lettuce and bell peppers.  Fold in sides of each wrap; roll up.  Cut each in half.  Serve immediately, or wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving or up to 24 hours.  Makes 4 sandwiches.


Ok, I know postings on the blog have been a little sporadic, grad school keeps me a little busy, but this is a quick one that I couldn't pass up.  I used a packet of mild sauce from Taco Bell for the taco sauce, already cooked bacon that you pop in the microwave, spinach instead of lettuce, and I always buy raw tortillas that I fry up myself because they taste way better than any pre-made tortillas.  They are called Tortilla Land if anyone is interested.  These were super easy and they tasted great.  Perfect for a quick week night meal or, if you are like me, any night meal because I don't like waiting more than 10 minutes to eat when hunger strikes.
