Chicken Caesar Wraps

Looking to make dinner in 10 minutes or less?  I have had those days.  So I found this recipe that both my husband and I like.  My kids...not so much but they like the tortillas.  My mother will cook an entire chicken or a bunch of boneless skinless chicken breasts and then shred them and put them in the freezer for future use.  Also you can use precooked bacon.  If you do those two things this recipe is super easy and fast.  Sometimes I leave the croutons out because they are little hard to bite into.  I serve it with a very quick fruit salad (apples, grapes, bananas, strawberry yogurt, honey, and a little dash of cinnamon).  Dinner is done.

Mexican Grilled Chicken Wraps

I discovered these tasty morsels this spring.  I found the recipe at Kraftfoods.com and fell in love with them.  They are easy to prepare ahead of time and then grill when ready to eat.  They are easy to double and you can reheat them on a griddle and they are just as good the second time around.  I am investigating whether or not they freeze well.  I’ll let you know the verdict.  I like to serve them with a fruit salad.

1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and chopped
1½ c. coleslaw blend
