Star Wars has been a big part of my life since I was a little kid. I remember being fascinated with the movies, even though I didn't know their names at the time. The movies have always remained a classic movie to watch for me, and I still catch myself wishing I had a lightsaber sometimes. Don't pretend that you still don't!
And of course being a foodie means that I wanted to celebrate this glorious holiday with some Star Wars themed food! Last year I made spicy Yoda ears, Dagobah Dip and a Forest Moon Milkshake in This Post. This year I was planning on making Princess Leia Cinnamon Buns (a la hair style) and Ham Solo and Chewbacon Pizza/Burger (couldn't make my mind up which would be better..I was leaning towards the pizza).
However... my day escaped me. I started the morning off by taking in my car for an oil check. Proceeded to enjoy the nice weather by mowing the lawn and plucking some weeds. Next thing I knew, the fiance had me off for a grocery trip, researching marriage licences, and organizing what flowers to purchase for center pieces! We finally get home, and she has to leave again for a friends stagette party. Next thing I know, I have to head to work (late shift) and all Star Wars plans are in complete disarray!
Sort of like the Rebels fleeing Hoth...
Anyway, I whipped up these quick Greek flavoured wraps as a quick lunch before the fiance took off. And while we were just going to have the Chewbacon, it's nothing without Ham Solo with it! And while the name might throw you off... the food is still tasty!
Maybe you should leave a comment on it's not-Star Wars name!
Ham Solo and Chewbacon Wraps
Tortilla's - 2
Red Onion - 1/2, julienned
Cucumber - 1/4, julienned
Tomato - 1/2, diced
Red Pepper - 1/4, julienned
Olive Oil - 1 tbsp
Balsamic Vinegar - 2 tsps
Oregano - 1/2 tsp
Salt and Pepper - A healthy pinch
Feta Cheese - about 2 tbsps, crumbled
Bacon - 2 slices pre-cooked, chopped
Ham - Deli Meat - 1 piece, chopped
After slicing the veggies, place the onion, cucumber, tomato and red pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle on the olive oil and balsamic until the veggies are lightly coated. Add the spices, then give the mixture a few tosses to mix together.
Spoon the ingredients into the tortilla shells, then add the bacon, ham and feta cheese. Fold the tortilla shell and enjoy!
May the Fourth/Force by with you!
Hopping from Slow Cooking Kitchen! I love the name of your dish :) Shame on me - I had no idea it's Star Wars Day! The first movie will always be the best for me. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you came to visit. Hope you enjoyed yourself!
DeleteI love it! I am going to have to share this with my husband and boys--they are huge Star Wars fans!
ReplyDeleteI came close to making a pizza with the ingredients instead, especially if shaped into a Death Star or Millennium Falcon! They may enjoy that more than the wraps... haha.
DeleteI am SO glad you did something for Star Wars day. I completely forgot about it until too late.
ReplyDeleteThis post made me laugh so hard!! Super funny. These look delicious!!
ReplyDeleteIs it because my nerdy self is coming through?
DeleteOh my gosh - I couldn't figure out this title and then I started to read. Gotcha. I always remember when Star Wars originally came out I decided to stay home because the Brady Bunch was on TV...ha ha. I do like the Star Wars series though...although I will admit I haven't seen the new ones, just the original 3. Your wrap sounds great though - love the Feta with the ham.
ReplyDeleteHi there. This week's Food on Friday is all about ham. So it would be great if you linked this in. This is the link . Have a good week.
