Turkey Wraps with Lemon-Yogurt Sauce (pg. 46)

A routine has emerged - cooking on the weekend and fending as I can during the week.  This weekend almost went by without a recipe, but I bundled up the girls and went shopping for ingredients today.  I took a look through the cookbook to see what I might be able to put together during the week.  The activity lead to some efficiencies in ingredients.  That brings me to my lesson for this entry:  When a recipe calls for a tortilla, sometimes it's best to stick to the tortillas. 

This recipe calls for tortillas to make a wrap.  Another recipe that I chose for this week called for whole wheat pitas, so I decided to use the whole wheat pitas for this recipe as well (ingredient efficiency).  The pita bag insists that the product has flax seed in it, and it is very soft.  Translation that I discovered:  Soft = thin and brittle - not suitable for super stuffing.  I would not do the substitution again unless I used a thicker pita.

The yogurt sauce on this was delicious!  The sauce is made of plain yogurt, lemon juice, cumin and cayenne (I used Cajun spices instead).  I would use it on other sandwiches as well.  Joe enjoyed it.  He agrees that a tortilla would have been better.

1 serving = 1 wrap and 2 tablespoons sauce = 4 points
PointsPlus:  6 points
