Italian Calzone Wrap

Here's a quick, easy, delicious dinner for a hectic evening.  I love wraps, just about any wrap, but had never tried an Italian-inspired wrap, outside of a "Chicken Caesar."    This is a wonderful combination of Italian sausage, YUMMMM, and fresh mozzarella with a few extra goodies thrown in.  Every once in a while I run across these "par-baked" tortillas which you heat up in a skillet to get a fresh tasting tortilla (I know you can always get these at Costco if you shop there).  Regular flour tortillas would certainly work, but I really do prefer the others.  The filling takes just a few minutes to prepare, toss a Caesar salad, and serve with a side of marinara sauce.

ITALIAN CALZONE WRAP (makes about 4 wraps, depending on size of tortilla and amount of filling)

1 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 clove (1 tsp) minced garlic
1/2 pound Italian sausage, hot or mild, or a mixture
1/2 to 1 red bell pepper, depending on size
1 tsp chopped sundried tomatoes
1/2# fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/2" cubes
1/2 cup chopped basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Marinara sauce
Tortillas

In a medium skillet, heat oil.  Add onion, cook on low for 2 minutes.  Add the garlic and sausage, crumble as you cook, stirring 3-5 minutes.  Drain off excess fat at this point.  Add red bell peppers and sundried tomatoes.  Cook a few more minutes.  Add mozzarella and basil leaves.

Toss, put a lid on the pan and let cheese melt.  This only takes a minute or two (cheese will go stringy if left on heat too long).  Cook tortillas (if using par-baked ones) as directed and top with filling.  Sprinkle with Parmesan, wrap, and serve immediately.
