I just made this tonight for dinner and it was really good. Thought someone might want to try it. I got the recipe from About.com.

Engine 2 Diet Sample Recipe - Vegetarian Sandwich Wrap

Rip Esselstyn, author of The Engine 2 Diet calls this recipe the "Almighty Healthy Sandwich Wrap" and says, "Our very own Station 2 won the 2003 Austin Fire Department’s Healthy Wagon Contest with this very healthful and tasty lunch/dinner wrap. The judges included three experts—the Fire Department’s in-house health specialist, a local representative from the American Heart Association, and a member of the Mayor’s Council for Physical Fitness."

Ingredients:

1 onion, chopped
1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
4 ounces sliced mushrooms

8 ounces roasted red bell pepper hummus (or 1 cup homemade)
2 large whole grain wraps
½ can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 roasted poblano pepper, cut into strips
½ package fresh spinach
Preparation:

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
Sauté the onion until translucent. Add the bell pepper and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and corn.

Spread a layer of hummus on the wrap. Add the sautéed vegetables, beans, poblano strips, and fresh spinach. Roll into a burrito.

Place on a baking sheet, seam side down, and bake for 8–10 minutes. Serve the wrap warm, and top with guacamole and salsa.

Makes two sandwich wraps.
