Description
Chipotle chiles in adobo (a sauce made from pureed chiles, vinegar, and spices) flavor the steak in this spicy wrap. Look for them canned in the Latin American section of larger supermarkets. Leftover chiles can be used to season beans, burritos, soups, and more. Store them in a sealed container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Prep time: 20 minutes
Start to finish: 20 minutes
Ingredients
1 tablespoon (or more to taste) chipotle chiles in adobo, chopped
1 (1 1/4–pound) flank steak, about 1 inch thick
2 large romaine lettuce leaves, shredded
2 medium plum tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon reduced-fat sour cream
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (8-inch) whole-wheat wraps
Instructions
1. Rub chiles onto both sides of steak; place steak in a resealable plastic bag and let marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
2. Heat the broiler and broiler pan for 10 minutes. Place steak on broiler pan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from the broiler, transfer to a cutting board, and let steak rest for 5 minutes. Cut into thin slices across the grain.
3. In a medium bowl, combine lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream, lime juice, and salt.
4. Heat wraps in the oven or microwave according to package directions. Divide lettuce mixture and steak evenly among wraps, roll up, and serve.

For those avoiding wheat (and as both Judynyc and I have said before, it is better to), the following are both excellent substitutes for the whole-wheat wraps in this recipe:
