Click here for the WTC recipe index, and scroll way down to the bottom of this post for a ramble-free printer version of the recipe for these wraps! Oh boy — I’m so excited about this recipe. Ground beef (or whatever you’ve got!) is seasoned with a Middle Eastern spice blend, then rolled into lettuce leaves and drizzled with a creamy tahini sauce. The flavor is *insane*.

This week I am going to share Telephone Game diagrams! Recognize any? If you enjoy this post, consider sharing it. Share The old standard. Blue becomes Green by the time it passes through a couple people. A couple days later, Red enters the picture. Blue and Red become Green and Orange. Information flows and clashes in both directions.
