Philly Cheesesteak Wraps

I have dreams of one day having an authentic Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. Until then, I decided to try and make my own version of one, except in a healthy whole wheat wrap. You can serve these in hoagie rolls but I think the whole wheat wrap is a better choice because it has whole grains and is lower in carbs. I served these wraps with some homemade fajita seasoned sweet potato wedges I cooked in the oven.

Philly Cheesesteak Wraps
Serves 4

Ingredients:
1 large onion - sliced
1 large green bell pepper - sliced
pepper and garlic powder for seasoning purposes
1 pound flank steak or boneless sirloin steak - we used boneless grass-fed beef sirloin
Provolone cheese slices - preferably reduced fat or lower sodium
Whole Wheat Wraps - we use La Tortilla Factory low carb/high fiber whole wheat wraps (only 80 calories per tortilla and 12 grams of fiber!)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
-First you will want to slice your steak into thin strips and season with pepper and garlic powder.
-In a large nonstick skillet, heat up 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil and add in your beef strips, peppers, and onions.
-Saute the ingredients in the skillet until the meat is cooked to your preference and the peppers are sauteed. You will want the veggies crisp, not soggy, so it won't take but a few minutes if the steak is really thin.
-While the meat mixture is cooking, heat up your tortillas in the oven or microwave, just until they are warmed. You can wrap them in foil to keep them warm while preparing the meal.
-Take a warm tortilla and fill the center of it with some of the meat/pepper mixture. Place a slice of provolone cheese on top immediately. This will ensure it gets all melty. Wrap up the tortilla and place on a plate.
-Serve

Enjoy! :)

*Tips:
-you can substitute chicken strips in place of the beef and have chicken philly wraps
-you can add in other veggies, such as mushrooms, if you wish to change it up a bit
