Good Craving

Often times, cravings are for junk food.  But for me on Sunday and yesterday, and a bit today, it was for something fairly healthy.

For dinner on Saturday night at the Fair, I opted for some not typical Fair food.  My cousin is a vegetarian and I introduced her to the tent I knew offered veggie options.  She didn’t realize the Fair offered such a thing and was glad to find something yummy to eat… as were my sister and I.

Both my sister and cousin ordered what is called The Benevolent Burrito.  I got the spinach quesadilla.  It was served with the company’s funky salsa (we’d never seen julienned carrots in salsa before!) and guacamole.  My quesadilla was absolutely delicious and I’m sure I felt way better the rest of the night than I would have if I’d eaten something more Fair-typical… not to mention the fact it made me feel better about scarfing down fried dough later in the night.

Something about it’s deliciousness stuck with me, and on Sunday on the way back to VA I was wanting another one.  And then yesterday I was craving it too.  Fortunately, it is a super simple thing to make so I got the ingredients when I went to the grocery last night.

And since it’s easy and delicious, of course I have to share, so here goes:

Start with a spinach wrap on the griddle (I used the griddle because a sauté pan is too small for the wraps I got):

Sprinkle the wrap with cheese (we use mozzarella because it melts nicely):

Top the cheese with baby spinach:

When the cheese is melted, fold the wrap in half:

Cut it into pieces and serve with your choice of accoutrement:

I used pico de guaco, which is guacamole layered with pico de gallo.  It is super fresh and will last longer than homemade guac.

If you try this, I hope you enjoy it.  I know I have… both last night and tonight for dinner!
