I can’t get enough of this recipe.
Ok, fine – maybe it is partially because I helped to create it and that makes me proud.
It could also that it includes ALL fresh foods that I love…. or that I was able to include basil THAT I GREW MYSELF IN MY GARDEN!!…. (if you know me well, you understand the magnitude of that feat) or possibly that my entire family loves it – small people included…. or maybe, just maybe… that I was able to feed my entire family for under $10.
Seriously, friends…. that’s a whole lot of love for this recipe, right? (and I didn’t even mention that it is EASY to make!)
Just watch: BBQ Pork, Corn & Basil Wrap
Here is the recipe in full:
BBQ Pork, Corn & Basil Wrap
2-4 6-ounce boneless rib-eye or New York pork chops, about 3/4-inch thick
Salt and pepper
6 tablespoons bottled barbecue sauce, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon paprika, ideally smoked paprika
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce (about 1 head)
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 1 ear)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced
4 9- to 10-inch flour tortillas
Prepare a grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Season pork with salt and pepper and grill 2 minutes per side. Use 2 tablespoons of the barbecue sauce to brush both sides of the chops and continue to cook until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F (for medium rare or 160 degrees for medium), about 2 minutes per side. Remove chops from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together oil, vinegar, and paprika. In a large bowl, combine romaine, corn, basil, feta, and scallions. Add dressing and toss. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Thinly slice pork. Place a tortilla on your work surface, spoon salad mixture on to tortilla, stopping about 2 inches short of one edge. Top with 1/4 of pork. Fold one side of the tortilla up and over the fillings, tucking the fillings in tightly, then fold in the 2-inch edge. Continue rolling the tortilla toward the other side, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Serve with the remaining 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce on the side for dipping.
* You can also broil the chops if you prefer—cook about 6 inches from the heat in a preheated broiler until internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
* If you prefer to heat your tortillas, you can do that in a skillet or all at once, microwave them on high until warm and softened, 30 to 60 seconds.
ENJOY! (I don’t doubt that you will!) But let me know.
