"The basis of this recipe was found in the Famous Name Brand Recipes cookbook 'WHOLE-GRAIN COOKING,' & was changed to use pulled pork -- the original called for 12 ounces of lean pork loin or skinless chicken breasts, cut into 2"x1/2"x1/4" strips & then sauted."

Very unique twist on this with the use of the cherries. Halved this making 4 wraps, left out the chilies, and the salt. Everyone was apprehensive at first with the cherries, but when mouth are chewing, and voices are quiet, it made for a great result. Made for a quick light dinner tonight as we enjoyed this unique recipe. Made for PRMR tag.

Made these for dinner tonight with pork I had prepared for egg rolls earlier today. I used whole wheat tortillas that were about 10 inches since thats what I had on hand, also left out the chillies since my mother is afriad of spicy food. These wraps had a very interesting taste because of the cherries, very diffrent but non the less good for a fast and easy meal on a busy night.
