Ingredients:

Flour tortillas
fresh mozzarella, sliced to fit
Fresh tomato, seeded and small diced
Bacon, fried and crumbled
Salami or summer sausage, shaved and crispy-fried with bacon
Fresh Basil
Salad Supreme
Canola Oil


Warm flour tortillas in microwave for 10 seconds or until pliable. Lay fresh mozzarella, diced tomato, crispy bacon/salame mixture and fresh basil leaves down the center; sprinkle with Salad Supreme. Fold bottom and top of tortilla over the ends of ingredients; roll and secure with toothpick.

Swirl a little oil into a frying pan and heat to medium-high (just below smoke point). Place prepared rollup in pan and turn to get a golden brown color on both sides and cheese is melted. Use pizza slicer to cut in half; serve with Rosemary-Balsamic Cream as dipping sauce.


Rosemary-Balsamic Cream from www.epicurious.com

1 teaspoon canola oil
4 shallots, finely chopped
½ cup balsamic vinegar
½ cup reduced-fat sour cream
½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary


Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook shallots until translucent but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar, bring to boil, then reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook until 2/3 of liquid has evaporated and shallots are very dark, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat. Combine sour cream, rosemary and 2 teaspoons water in a bowl. Spoon balsamic-shallot sauce into center of sour cream and swirl with a toothpick before serving.
