It didn't happen intentionally, but I realized I've been eating a lot of wraps lately. I thought it would be fun to put them all in one blog to show a variety of wrap ideas.

Prosciutto and Gruyere Wraps
via Martha Stewart
8 oz button mushrooms, trimmed and thinly sliced
3 Tbs fresh lemon juice
3 Tbs extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
4 warmed pieces lavash bread or 10-inch flour tortillas
1 halved garlic clove
1/4 lb thinly sliced prosciutto
1/4 lb thinly sliced gruyere cheese - I used vermont white cheddar
1/4 medium red onion, very thinly sliced
6 cups baby arugula (4 ounces)
- In a bowl, combine mushrooms, lemon juice, and extra-virgin olive oil - season with salt and pepper.
- Let stand, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are softened, about 30 minutes.
- Rub bread lightly with garlic clove. I skipped this step with using the tortilla.
- Dividing evenly, layer lavash with prosciutto and gruyere cheese, red onion, marinated mushrooms (liquid reserved), and baby arugula.
- Season with salt and pepper and drizzle each lavash with 1 Tbs reserved mushroom liquid.
- Roll up to form a wrap. Cut in half to serve.

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbs and 1/4 cup soy sauce
