I can’t take total credit for this cheese dip recipe,
because my med tech friend, Patty W. asked a friend who works at Lambrusco’z what was in the
recipe. They gave her a list of the basic ingredients and I took it from there.
I’ll post this recipe and you can invent your own sandwich wrap from there.
Another reason, I was thinking along the lines of using
this cheese spread in a wrap is because we are talking about taking a ROAD TRIP
later this summer. Yes, my friends, remember piling into a car, DRIVING to your
destination, and taking side visited to see the largest ball of twine or
biggest gopher? Or National Lampoon’s VACATION to Wally World?
--Basically start simple and adjust to taste with this
recipe.
--there is enough flavor in this recipe to go the
fat-free route. And if you wanted to add more greenery, you could add a little thinly
sliced basil or spinach.
--I have no ability to taste the strength of the garlic powder;
I have to have the hubby taste it so I don’t over garlic it.
Margaret’s Cheese Spread
4 oz. Cream cheese
3 Tbls. Mayo½ tsp. Garlic powder
1/3 cup Shredded Mexican 4-blend cheese mix
1/3 cup Shredded Italian 4-cheese mix
2 Tbls. Chives, snipped
Soften cream cheese and mix in rest of ingredients,
adjusting to taste. Remember it needs to be soft and spreadable.
--to make a wrap, simply spread a thin layer on a carb
balance flour tortilla, fajita or soft taco sized tortilla.
--pile shaved meats (ham, turkey, pastrami) in a line
down the middle, add spinach or other firm lettuce/veg and roll tightly.
--the key to a good wrap to make certain all your
ingredients are as dry as possible.
--roll up wrap, making sure the cheese spread sticks to
the tortilla. Wrap in plastic and chill to firm up.
--and when you are eating a wrap you don’t want the darn
thing dripping out the bottom and onto your lap, therefore you need a material
that doesn’t leak like Ranch Dressing.
Later, Peeps!
