Tortilla Wraps




My kids love these for dinner!

This is not really a recipe, more like a "how to" meal idea. Tonight we had Chicken Wraps dipped in ranch dressing and chips. You can really make these however you would like using whatever toppings you like as well. Tonight I made them with chicken. Cut up chicken breasts into thin strips, season with salt & pepper and garlic then brown them in frying pan sprayed with cooking spray.

Assemble on large tortilla, add meat of choice, cheese of choice, lettuce, tomato slices, onions, whichever veggies you like. Roll tortilla tight and place in hot frying pan sprayed with cooking spray. Rotate and brown the tortilla just enough that it is golden and crispy. You want the tortilla warm but the inside ingredients cool.

Cut in half and dip in dressing of choice and serve with salad, fries or chips.

There are also several different tortillas to choose from, mix it up and try spinach, whole wheat, sun-dried tomato etc. Can use deli turkey, deli ham, deli chicken, cooked chicken pieces or even tuna. Cheese slices can be used as well as grated cheeses. Whatever you prefer. Toppings can be really varied, depending on what you like: lettuce, baby spinach, tomato, onion, avocado slices, bacon, peppers, mushrooms, alalfa sprouts, throw on some black beans and corn with some salsa to spice it up. The possibilities are endless!

Examples:

Caesar Salad Wrap: Romaine lettuce, chicken pieces, fresh grated parmesan cheese, tomato slices, dip in Caesar dressing.

BLT Wrap: bacon, lettuce tomato in tomato tortilla dipped in ranch dressing.

Tuna Wrap: prepared tuna with cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, with lime juice squeezed on top before rolling in whole wheat tortilla. Serve with dill pickle on the side.

Veggie Wrap: choice of tortilla, any veggies you like, choice of dressing.

Chicken Salad Wrap: make chicken salad recipe then add avocado slices, mushrooms slices, tomato slices and alalfa sprouts.
