Cooking y'all.

After a strangely stressful week, I decided that tonight was a good night to try out a new recipe. I don't know about all of you, but growing up in the deep South around the the ladies that I did, there's nothing much more relaxing that cooking yourself a good dinner. Somehow I just happened across a recipe for Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps on Emily Bites and it seemed like a good one to try out on a Friday night. And these turned out pretty fantastic with a cup of tea, y'all. So I couldn't help but share the recipe.

Bacon Cheeseburger Wraps from Emily Bites
Yields 4 wraps. WW P+: 8 per wrap (P+ calculated using the recipe builder on weightwatchers.com)
1 lb 95% lean ground beef  (I substituted ground turkey for ground beef, as always)
1 T McCormick Hamburger Seasoning
4 Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle Wedges, cut into pieces
2 T Ketchup
2 t Yellow Mustard
1/3 cup 2% shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 T Hormel Real Bacon Bits
4 light original Flatouts 
½ a medium tomato, cut into pieces
1 – 1 ½ cups shredded lettuce
Directions:
1.    Bring a large skillet to medium heat. Add the ground beef and hamburger seasoning and cook until meat is browned. Drain meat. Clean skillet and set aside.
2.    Place meat in a medium bowl and add the cheese wedges, ketchup, mustard, cheddar and bacon bits. Stir to combine. Microwave on high for one minute. Stir again until meat is evenly coated.
3.    Spoon a quarter of the meat mixture (around a generous ½ cup) onto the center of each flatout and spread the mixture lengthwise, leaving about an inch at each end. Evenly distribute the shredded lettuce and tomato pieces across the top of the meat. Fold in the short ends of the flatout over the filling and then fold in the long ends to cover it. 
4.     Lightly mist the large skillet with cooking spray and bring over medium-low heat. Place the wraps fold-side down onto the skillet (I did them in batches of two) and let them cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden. Flip the wraps and continue to cook until golden on the bottom. Cut in half and serve.


I have yet to try one of her recipes that I didn't like, so check her out! There are tons of cute, individual serving "cupcake" recipes--I haven't tried any of them yet, but they're on my list of recipes to try!


Happy weekend, friends!
