    Recipe Introduction


    I just happened to come across a recipe last night that has salsa.
    It's a variation on a Mexican Fajitas recipe. If it doesn't sound
    good to you, maybe it will give you some other ideas of how to use it.

    Serves 4

    1 1/2 pounds flank steak
    4 limes: 2 juiced, the other 2 cut in wedges
    1 teaspoons salt
    1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1 cup chopped cilantro
    2 tablespoons chopped onion
    8 large Romaine lettuce leaves, whole; washed and dried
    2 cups lettuce chopped (use remaining Romaine)
    2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
    1 cup diced tomatoes
    salsa

    Prepare marinade for steak by using the juice from 2
    limes, salt, pepper, cilantro and chopped onion. Place
    all these in a plastic zip top style bag along with
    the flank steak. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or
    overnight.

    Preheat grill, barbecue, George Foreman or oven
    broiler. Grill steaks over coals for about 4 to 6
    minutes per side. Let it rest a few minutes before
    cutting steak into slices about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

    Cut remaining limes in half. Using the Romaine lettuce
    leaves, fill with the remaining shredded Romaine
    lettuce, tomatoes, steak strips, cheese and salsa.
    Squeeze juice of half a lime over each wrap, wrap it
    up and enjoy.

    Use Sprouted Tortillas instead of the Romaine lettuce leaves if you like.
    SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Add brown rice and green salad.
