Em's Easy Wraps

4 to 6 large flour tortillas
3/4 cup ranch dressing
1/3 cup barbecue sauce
1/4 head iceberg lettuce, very thinly sliced
1/2 pound pepper Jack or Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 ripe avocado, thinly sliced
1 cup pitted black olives, chopped
1 cup red bell peppers, chopped
1/2 pound smoked or buffalo-style turkey, thinly sliced
Handful of cherry tomatoes, quartered

Make the sauce by combining the ranch dressing and barbecue sauce in a small bowl and stir until blended. Layer each ingredient on half of the tortilla. Start with a bit of sauce (there'll be plenty left to serve on the side as well), then add the lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, avocado, olives, and peppers, using as much of each as you like. End with some turkey. Fold in each side of the tortilla and begin rolling the wrap from the end with the filling. Tuck in the filling as you roll. Slice each wrap in the center, on the bias, with a sharp serrated knife and serve (with the extra sauce in a bowl). Makes 4 to 6 wraps.

Obviously this is one that you could add anything you want, or omit anything you want, according to your (or your children's) tastes. The sauce is surprisingly tasty and the flavors blend so well - this was the very first "wrap" I've ever made and we loved them! I made a "nuts about berries" salad to go with it and felt like I was eating out at Zupa's or something. Yum.

Jeter loves these in his lunchbox, so I'll just do about 2 parts ranch to 1 part bbq sauce and throw in a little ham or turkey and cheese and voila! A non PBJ sack lunch.
