Recipe: Avocado Wrap w/ Lean ground beef and Spinach

 Avocado Wrap w/ Lean ground beef and Spinach

Ingredients:

2 cups LEAN ground beef
Half Red Pepper (sliced in chunks)
Spinach
One medium sized tomato
One tbsp Olive Oil (preferred extra virgin)
Two pegs from an avocado
Ground Pepper
Goat Cheese
1 small whole wheat tortilla

How to make:
First, rince your ground beef off in cold water. You can add a little lime juice to the water.  Then let it sit for a bit in a strainer to drain.

In a non stick Skillet, add the olive oil and spin the pot so it coats the bottom somewhat.  When heated, add ground beef.  Be careful it doesn't burn, so keep moving the meat around in the pot with a plastic spatula.

**Never use metal in a non stick pot
**Lean ground beef tends to generate a lot of water. If you find this is the case, use a strainer to get rid of the excess water.

Once you're sure the ground beef is cook, add your peppers and tomato. From time to time stir this to make everything mix in.

**If you find it is getting too dry, you can add about three tbsp of water

Next, add your spinach at the top. Do not stir it yet. Let the spinach cook from the heat and once that happens, stir it in.

Add pepper.

On top of all that, add your goat cheese. Do NOT mix it in. Just let it melt with the heat on top and turn the stove off.




In a bowl, add your two pegs of avocado. Using a cork you want to smoosh it so that it looks like a spread. Once that's done, get your small whole wheat tortilla and lay it on a dry surface. You want to coat your tortilla with the avocado.

Add some of your ground beef and roll it like they do in the diners.  To keep it rolled before you eat it, use a tooth pick to hold it in place.

Add a little of your ground beef on the side of your plate and voila!


This can serve as a dinner or lunch.
