Versatile wrap has it all for $2

This entrée-worthy wrap has it all the protein, the vegetable and the starch. And all for about $2 per serving.

Sporting a hearty blend of browned sausage, golden onions, garlicky spinach and Italian cheeses rolled up in a warm flour tortilla, it's also fast, easy and flexible. Substitute different meats, cheeses and greens based on what's on sale.For a more assertively flavored wrap, substitute arugula for the spinach and shredded provolone for the mozzarella.If you like, use sweet sausage instead of hot. If you substitute pork for turkey, you may want to drain all but a few tablespoons of fat from the pan before adding in your onions and greens.Spicy Sausage Wraps with Golden Onions and SpinachStart to finish: 30 minutesServings: 61 pound bulk spicy turkey sausage meat1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced (about 4 cups)8 cups chopped fresh spinach1 tablespoon minced garlic2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheesecup grated Parmesan cheeseSalt and ground black pepper, to taste6 burrito-size flour tortillasIn a large skillet over medium-high, cook the sausage meat until no longer pink, about 6 minutes.
