grilled cheeseburger wrap

im so happy that the meijer by my house sells the la tortilla factory 100 calorie tortillas (considering that most flour tortillas are 8 weight watchers points+). anyways, i found them a few weeks ago and they were on sale so i stocked up. shortly after i found this recipe and knew that i had to try it at once! (when i showed my husband the picture on pinterest he agreed immediately). and cheeseburger wrap night was born! my son ate it without any problems (and as i have said before, getting him to eat anything these days is rough) and my daughter gobbled one up (this says alot considering she only has one tooth and usually picks the meat out of anything that i give her). halfway through my husband's second wrap he said that this was something that he wanted in our regular dinner rotation. perfect for me since i only had to make one meal for all of us (i have been making three separate meals for as long as i can remember) anyways, enjoy!

grilled cheeseburger wrap
from http://www.skinnymomskitchen.com/2011/08/09/grilled-cheeseburger-wrap/
1 pound ground beef (I used 1/2 lb beef 1/2 lb ground turkey)
1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/8 teaspoon pepper
5 flour tortillas (i used la tortilla factory 100 calorie traditional tortillas)
5 slices american cheese
1 cup of romaine lettuce (not pictured in wrap... this was a pic of one of the ones that i made for my kids)
Additional ketchup
crisp bacon slices (optional)

 In a large skillet coated with cooking spray, cook the beef/turkey mixture until cooked through, breaking up meat as it cooks. Drain fat if any. Return to heat and add worcestershire, ketchup, dried onion flakes and pepper. Mix together until thoroughly combined.

Preheat panini press ( you can use an indoor grill at 350 degrees or a grill pan if you don't have a panini press)

 In the center of  the wrap place a slice of cheese and 1/2 cup of the beef/turkey mixture. Add additional ketchup, lettuce and bacon if using. Add any additional condiments that you might like such as mustard or mayo. Roll the wrap and place seam side down on grill. Once there are nice grill marks turn over. Grill for another 2-3 minutes then remove. Repeat for remaining wraps.
