Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

BBQ Chicken wraps in tortillas with mangos and blueberries

Tonight I had my cake and I ate it too.  I don’t mind cooking – when I have time – and with my schedule, that is not very often…  So tonight I served a fresh, healthy, delicious dinner AND not cook!  Yes, I warmed things up and put them together, but it doesn’t get any easier than this.  And the BBQ rubbed chicken from the other night, along with the red sauce (salsa) from the avocado enchiladas and a hint of BBQ sauce, made this meal a meal to remember!

The Verdict

10’s all around!!!!  Everyone loved the wraps. The kids had the tortillas and my husband and I had the lettuce.  I used two long romaine leaves for each wrap.  It was crunchy and delicious!  Everyone loved the BBQ sauce (less is more), mixed with the red sauce.  This is a great way to use the chicken in a new and novel way.  I will definitely make this again!

Allergy Work Arounds:

Gluten: Use corn tortillas or lettuce (the lettuce is REALLY good!)

Dairy: Omit cheese or use a cheese substitute that works for you. We use goat cheddar cheese instead of cheddar from cow’s milk
