Zesty Pork Chop and Cucumber Salad Wraps

Zesty Pork Chop and Cucumber Salad Wraps
Serves 5-6

We wanted a fresh and new recipe that was quick and easy to make for dinner. For some reason, we thought pork chop and cucumber salad in a wrap. Go figure! It was delicious! These might be great on the grill. Will definitely try it when it's not raining.


Ingredients
  • 4 boneless pork chops
  • 1 bottle zesty Italian Dressing
  • 1 large cucumber
  • 1 large red onion
  • 1 bag of fresh spinach
  • 3 large tomatoes
  • preferred wrap or tortilla shell (Flat Out Healthy Grain Harvest Wheat)


Instructions
  1. Heat a skillet. Marinate the Pork Chops in a bowl of ziploc bag for 30 minutes in the Italian Dressing, saving 1 cup for the salad.
  2. Peal and slice the cucumbers in half and then slice them into thin strips. 
  3. De-seed and slice the tomatoes into chunks.
  4. Slice the red onion in half and then into 1mm strips.
  5. Mix the cucumber, onion, and tomatoes in a large bowl. Add the Italian Dressing and pepper to taste. 
  6. Now cook the marinated pork chops in the skillet until cooked through. Let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
  7. Next, take a wrap and put down a layer of spinach. Make sure it has been rinsed and dried, first.
  8. After putting down a layer of spinach leaves, put some pork chop strips in the middle and then a spoonful or two or cucumber salad. 
  9. Wrap and enjoy!
