Recipe: Philly? Salad? Wrap?

1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 small yellow onion
2 slices swiss cheese
4 cups fresh spinach leaves
1 large avacado, mashed
4 whole wheat tortillas

This salad wrap is made in the spirit of the philly sandwhich. The recipe makes 4 wraps and each wrap will be prepared individually. Cut the peppers and onions into fourths. Slice the peppers and onions thinly. Sautee the first pile of peppers and onions in canola oil. Arrange the vegetables into a long, narrow pile, roughly the shape of a rolled wrap. Cover the veggies with 1/2 a slice of swiss cheese. Drip a couple of drops of water onto the pan and quickly cover the veggies and cheese with a saucepan lid, using the steam to melt the cheese. Once cheese is melted (15-20 seconds), slide the veggies and cheese into the center of a tortilla. Cover with approximately 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves (less or more depending on your preference). Spread mashed avacado onto the side of the tortilla and wrap it up!
