Worthy of a Special Occasion

This dish has all the bright, fresh flavors and crunchy textures of a summer roll. The tortilla wrappers make it a satisfying main dish.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 wrap)

Ingredients

  • 1  (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
  • Cooking spray
  • 1  cup  cubed peeled cucumber
  • 1/2  cup  grape or cherry tomato halves
  • 1/4  cup  thinly sliced shallots
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh mint
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh basil
  • 1  tablespoon  chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2  tablespoons  brown sugar
  • 3  tablespoons  low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2  tablespoons  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2  teaspoon  crushed red pepper
  • 6  (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 12  Bibb lettuce leaves

Preparation

Prepare grill to medium-high heat.

Sprinkle the steak with salt and black pepper. Place steak on a grill rack coated with cooking spray, and grill 4 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Let rest 5 minutes.
