Gluten-Free Weekly Menu Plan, Week 7 & a Mostly Raw Wrap

This picture cracks me up.  "Out from the clouds comes... the mostly raw wrap."

This week, I'd like to share more of a concept than a recipe.  Jer and I have been inhaling these for lunches quite a lot; especially at the end of the month when things get... creative in the kitchen.  If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you know I go raw as much as I can.  You also know that I love cheese, especially when it's melted.  It's paradoxical, I tell you.  So I decided something.  And that thing is... a dish doesn't have to be all raw or all cooked.  Enter: the mostly raw wrap.  Here's the concept: Warm all ingredients that have already been cooked and keep what's raw, raw.  Here's what this week's wrap had (talk about scrounging for leftover scraps and making it taste good);

• Melt butter/ghee/coconut oil/your favorite fat in a large cast iron pan.  Spread hummus over tortilla.  Add leftover chicken from previous dinner and bacon leftover from breakfast.  Sprinkle whatever cheese is in the fridge on top.  Place in heated skillet until warmed and cheese is starting to melt.  The tortilla should be nice and crispy, but still roll-able.  Remove from heat, add whatever raw ingredients sounds good (I used lettuce, grated carrot, avocado, sliced cucumber, micro greens, and olives).  Drizzle salad dressing (I used cultured thousand island), roll, and eat.
