Nope- I'm not going to be suggesting you use a pita, a lavash or tortilla (come on, now it's nothing more than flattened bread- and it's NOT paleo!) to tidy up a heap of free range turkey, arugula, avocado and sliced peach! I'm talking about 'the original wrap'… how about some skin? I, for one, […]
