International Recipe: Brick Cheese Mexican Wrap

Brick Cheese Mexican Wrap
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon corn oil
  • 1/2 pound (approximately 4 pieces) boneless, thin-sliced pork chops or tenderloins
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon oregano leaves, crumbled
  • 4 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup canned refried beans
  • 1 1/3 cups Wisconsin Brick cheese, shredded
  • 1 ripe tomato, thinly sliced
  • 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced
  • 1/4 cup canned sliced jalapeno chiles, drained
  • Shredded romaine lettuce
  • Minced cilantro
  • 1/4 cup salsa of choice
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
Cooking Procedures:
  1. Heat oil in heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Quickly sauté pork chops or tenderloins, turning once, until cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
  2. Salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle oregano over the pork while hot, pressing into meat. Cut into pencil-size strips. Set aside.
  3. Heat the tortillas until soft and keep warm. Also heat the refried beans.
  4. Spread the surface of each tortilla with 1/4 cup hot refried beans, 1/3 cup shredded Wisconsin Brick cheese and 1/4 of pork. Layer the tomato, avocado, jalapeños, lettuce and cilantro, dividing evenly among the tortillas.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the salsa and mayonnaise. Dollop 2 tablespoons of the mixture over each tortilla filling. Roll up tortillas tightly; cut each in half diagonally to serve.
Makes 4 servings.
