Blue Cheese Pumpkin Wrap

Let me preface this by saying that if you think this dish sounds weird, it was. Weird, but good. This was one of those occasions where I simply needed to use certain ingredients before they went bad, namely blue cheese, so I concocted this strange wrap. True, you probably could never serve this in a restaurant, and you likely would not serve it to guests, but for a quick dinner for me and the hubs it hit the spot. Good, but weird!

Blue Cheese Pumpkin Wrap

4 whole wheat flour tortillas

1 T olive oil

1 can pumpkin

1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

Arugula salad mix

4 T crumbled blue cheese

4 T chopped walnuts (candied with 1 T butter + 1 T brown sugar)

4 strips bacon (I used pre-cooked, but you can cook your own too)

If you are using uncooked bacon, go ahead and cook the bacon in a skillet and drain on paper towels. Heat a small skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, pumpkin and spices and stir well. Turn off heat. Meanwhile, add the chopped walnuts, butter and brown sugar to a small skillet and cook over low heat until the walnuts are candied (about 5 minutes). Turn off heat. Crumble the bacon strips (each wrap will get one strip's worth of bacon pieces).

To assemble the wraps, spread an even layer of the pumpkin around each wrap, leaving about a half inch border. Add the arugula and top with blue cheese, walnuts and bacon pieces. Wrap up and serve. Makes 4.
