Easy Ginger Asparagus

  5.0 – 1 reviews  • Asparagus

Dinner tonight is quite quick, simple, and healthy. This is also a fantastic snack or starter. At first glance, there appears to be a lot of spinach, but as it cooks, it quickly becomes much less. If whole wheat tortillas are not available, other tortilla kinds may be utilized. Sour cream and salsa should be added.

Simple and delicious as written! I love an easy grilled asparagus. The pickled ginger gave the asparagus excellent flavor but visually it was not appealing. Not sure if it was a reaction to the foil, what pickled ginger does when it is cooked, or the specific brand I used but it had a grey/purplish color and the texture was no good so I discarded it prior to serving. It still seemed to lack in the tartness I love in asparagus so I garnished with lemon wedges. Excellent and one I will make again!
