This is a recipe I got from her a couple of years ago we made it a few times and really liked the wonderful flavors in this easy wrap. I came across it again and it worked for the most hectic of nights.

I had an evening meeting for BonBon magazine I am now an editor and Ken had to work late. Everything was all ready to be assembled for a late-night meal and it was as delicious as I remembered.

This one is a keeper!!
