Salmon Arugula Wrap

Ever have one of those days when you only have 5 minutes for lunch and think oh yea I'll just stop at SA and buy one of those week old hotdogs...yea me too, BUT instead of forcing myself to eat SA I make this wonderfully delicious and quick wrap as I'm running out the door.  Yes, delicious, healthy, filling, and fast-miracles do happen!  
I started making these for lunch on Monday's for Meatless Mondays but loved them so much I usually make them every week day.  
If you're thinking, oh Salmon that's expensive and it's difficult to get fresh, oh I'm so sad you've never heard of Trader Joe's....I get a 4 oz package for only $2.99 and it is Farm Fresh Alaskan smoked salmon.  There is also a lot of room for changing things up, I like sliced almonds and mustard but you could use pesto and pine nuts or walnuts too.  Here is my version, Enjoy this Just Good Food!


Recipe (Serves 1):
1 Large flour tortilla (burrito style, or tomato basil wrap)
1.5-2 oz of smoked salmon
1 oz of sharp cheddar cheese
Large handful of arugula 
1 oz sliced almonds
Dijon mustard
parmesan cheese
fresh squeezed lemon
salt
lemon pepper
red pepper flakes


Directions:

If you have a few extra minutes, warm a large flat skillet to slightly crisp up the tortilla to melt the cheese.

Spread the mustard on the tortilla/wrap and the cheese dabbed with red pepper flakes and place not he skillet for about 3 minutes (until desired crispiness).  

Next, flake the salmon apart and spread evenly across the tortilla and shake about 1/4 tsp of lemon pepper seasoning.

Top the salmon with the arugula (and lots of it!), and squeeze the fresh lemon on top.  Take the sliced almonds and add to your liking along with the parmesan and salt to taste (if needed).  Wrap it tight and for a little extra kick add some hot sauce (sriracha!)
