Anniversary Wrap

My husband and I met at a little wrap restaurant where we both worked while I was in college.  He showed me how to use the tortilla warmer, and I was smitten.  The restaurant has since closed, leaving a huge void in wrap eatery, if you ask me: No more Thai peanut sauce nestled in a curry wrap or Balsalmic and Feta in perfect harmony with spinach tortilla heaven.  It’s my greatest wish to get my hands on those recipes…  

In the meantime I improvise.  Mission has recently marketed a line of flavored wraps to the public, which makes it a lot easier to make your own at home.  This particular wrap is called the Anniversary Wrap, since I celebrate my anniversary in September.  The ingredients are modeled after my favorite wrap from my tortilla warming days—one that I used to share with my now husband on a break.  We solved all kinds of world issues over a wrap just like this one, and we still talk each other’s ear off all these years later.  Happy Anniversary Ty!
