The Firecracker at Elliott’s

Published December 30, 2010 in the Memphis Flyer

There are a lot of things I love about Elliott's. Because of limited space, I will list my top two: 1) Harry (owner Helario Reyna) is always adding new and exciting items to the menu, and 2) you can get something totally decadent like homemade beef tamales smothered in cheese, sour cream, and jalapeno or something deliciously health-conscious like a wrap. I have recently fallen in love with the Firecracker, which has replaced the Santa Fe as my favorite wrap. It contains sliced, grilled chicken breast, julienned carrots, Thai basil, chopped cabbage, diced green peppers, chopped peanuts, bean sprouts, and spicy Thai chili sauce. It's fresh, crunchy, and has an explosive taste thanks to the chili sauce. Not to mention, the Firecracker is everything you could ever want in a sandwich: healthy, cheap, and easy to eat. Try it.
