Subway Vegetable "Delite" Wrap (Copycat)
I never realized how dependent I was on Subway until I started spending lots of money on it. So I went there for the last time to watch them make this; then I flew off to the supermarket, got the ingredients, and started playing around. I like to add 1/4 cup refried beans to liven things up.
