Light and Easy Beef Wraps

Wrap it up!

And omnomnom!

After a lousy and cold start, we've had some great summer days, I can even say weeks. Yesterday we even had the hottest day in Belgium since August last year, with a "blistering" 36,2 C! Yeah, not thát hot in comparison to a summer in Spain, Italy, Australia, Morocco, Mexico, I could go on... But for Belgium, that is HOT, really hot.

And don't get me wrong here, I love the heat! But it is the sleeping part which I don't like.

Here are some tips to improve your nightly beauty sleep:

- Eat light, something like the recipe below!

- Take a shower, NOT a cold one because the cold will make your body heat itself up, and of course not a hot & steamy shower as well, a tepid one is perfect.

- Ventilate your room, but you don't want to have the draft directly on you because you could catch a cold!

- Spread your arms and legs when sleeping, this will allow your body to cool down.

Oh yeah, and I heard: don't sleep naked because your mattrass will absord all your sweat, it will cool down at night and you'll get a cold! Who want's a cold in the summer?

Back to the first point I mentioned: a light diner. This is a blog dedicated to food after all. 

I had posted this recipe one before, but it was hidden somewhere inbetween some kind of restaurant review and a cocktail recipe. So I thought: "Why not give this delicious and super-duper easy recipe it's own blog aticle?!" 

This beef wrap is a delicious and super easy recipe. You will love it! This isn't only the perfect light diner but it is also perfect lunch to take to work or school, prepare it for a picnic or as a afternoon snack.

Beef wraps

Ingredients:

• 4 tortilla wraps
• 1 red onion (red onions are sweeter than regular onions)
• 500gr steak
• paprika powder
• salt & peper
• 1 avocado
• 2 hands full of rocket salad
• 3 tsp sour cream
• 1 tsp horseradish cream
• cilantro

Preparation:

Season your steak with paprika powder, salt and pepper, set aside to marinate for a few minutes. Cut your avocado in to long strips. I cut it in half lengthwise, and each half I cut into 4 slices. Cut your onion into thin strips. Mix one teaspoon of horseradish cream with 3 teaspoons of sour cream.

Once you've prepared your veggies and your steak has absorbed the spices flavors, its time to grill! Grill your steak on the BBQ or a grill pan. When ready let it rest for 2 minutes. Spread one teaspoon of horseradish & sour cream mix on each tortilla wrap. Cut your beef into thin slices and divide evenly on the wraps. Add some avocado (about 1/4 avocado per wrap), some onion strips, some rocket salad, some cilantro and sprinkle with paprika powder. fold the rap into a roll.

If you like you can also add tomatoes, cheese, or use chicken instead of beef.

Aiaiai this is some good food señor!
