Karen, I have made this recipe many times now, and shared it with friends. It's delicious! Served with the shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream...it's a new family favorite. Thanks! my daughter reminded me not to forget to pass the shredded cheese!

We had these for a late lunch today after our soft-ball games. I made the beef filling last night. I only added about half of the tomato puree because I thought it may get too soupy. The filling had a pleasant tomato-y, mildly spiced flavor. I threw in some cumin for an added kick. I used the lettuce and sprinkled a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese on top before rolling up. We were starving and these babies did the trick. Thanks Karen, I will add this to my ever-growing favorite wrap recipe collection.
