CHICKEN/FETA WRAP

IT'S SO FUN TO ADD A NEW TWIST TO LEFTOVERS!

BY CHARLOTTE TAYLOR | PHOTOGRAPHY BY LAUREN LABOYTEAUX

| THE WEDDED BLISS SEPT-OCT 2015

SUMMER IS WRAPPING UP, AND FOR US EAST TEXANS, THOSE VISIONS OF FALL WILL SOON BECOME A REALITY. With memories of that dreamy summer vacation beginning to fade away, getting back into the grind can be a real struggle. Just the thought of lunch prep or planning an effortless dinner is enough to make your head spin. Need a simple throw together meal that can be altered to fit whatever you have on hand? How about a wrap? It is SUCH an easy route to go. Hot, cold, light on the calories or not, wraps can truly be the answer. If you want to go easy on the carbs, substitute those tortillas with lettuce. Voila, lettuce wraps. Same deliciousness.

and have mix and match wraps for lunch. Talk about being frugal! No meat? Try Greek yogurt, cucumbers, feta, black olives and tomatoes for some Mediterranean flair. Your possibilities are as endless as the sea.

If you’re new to the wraps game, here’s a pretty tasty basic version made with leftover rotisserie chicken, some spinach, feta cheese and sun dried tomatoes. DELISH. CHICKEN/FETA WRAP: (1-2 Servings)

24

•

1 large tortilla (flour, whole wheat, or other)

•

1 tablespoon cream cheese, softened (optional, but it aids in keeping the tortilla together)

•

1/2 cup precooked shredded chicken (freshly cooked or leftover)

•

1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves

•

1 tablespoon sun dried tomatoes, diced

•

1-2 tablespoons feta cheese

WHAT TO DO: 1. Lay tortilla on clean flat work surface. Spread softened cream If you are a recipe follower and would like a step by step plan for a

cheese over entire tortilla. Begin layering ingredients on half of the

wrap, no problem, but please feel free to create your very own. Use

tortilla, keeping the other half without toppings. Gently roll up tortilla,

your favorite things, delete the not- so- favorite things. There really

beginning with the filled end. Slowly roll and keep ingredients together

aren’t many rules for wrap making, just steer clear of things that

by continually pushing and squeezing. When roll up is complete, slice on

might become soggy if you won’t be eating it immediately. If you love

a diagonal or into rounds. Tightly wrap in wax paper, butcher paper, or

tomatoes, iceberg lettuce or tons of ranch dressing, keep those things

in a plastic baggie. Make ahead or eat it right away, it’ll be tasty either

on the side until time to eat - otherwise, the world is yours.

way. ENJOY!

Do you have leftover fried or roasted chicken? Turn it into a Caesar wrap with a little parmesan, romaine, and Caesar dressing. Have some leftover steak or roast from the weekend? Whip up a few Asian inspired wraps by adding some fresh snow peas, carrot strips and a drizzle of soy sauce. It’s so fun to add a new twist to those leftovers and makes getting back into the grind not so bad at all! Want to have a cheap, fun, lunch party at the office? Get everyone to bring their favorite ingredient
