Wow...that title sounds really appetizing doesn't it? NOT. It turns out that, despite the name, this was a quite tasty lunch. I saw this recipe a while ago in my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. I never had the ingredients on hand at the same time, but last night I decided to get up off the couch and go to the grocery store to buy them. Here they are:
- Mushrooms
- Italian dressing
- Spinach (cheaper when bought from the salad bar)
- 1 can of beans (cannellini or navy)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- Tortillas
- Cheese (I used a shredded Italian blend)
Here's what you do. First, coat the sliced mushrooms in Italian dressing. I'm sure another type of dressing would work too, but that is what I had on hand. Then, broil the mushrooms in the oven for a few minutes. Meanwhile, lightly dress the spinach in dressing. Then, use a blender to combine the can of beans, garlic, olive oil, and chili powder into a thick liquid--somewhere between gravy and peanut butter. All that's left to do now is put everything together! Lay out a tortilla, smear it with the bean spread, and then layer on spinach, mushrooms, and cheese. I refrigerated my wraps overnight and had them today for lunch. I was afraid they might get a little soggy from the spread and dressing, but had no problem.
