Chipotle Chicken and Rice Wrap

-
                                                            Join me for lunch?



Since I love brown and wild rice pilaf and no one else in the house does, I sometimes make a bunch of it and incorporate it into my lunches when I'm alone. And who doesn't love leftover grilled chicken?! I will purposely make so that there are leftovers of this kind around. It is fantastic sauteed with all kinds of veggies. Today as I was doing some deep cleaning I was thinking about the fresh veggies and herbs in my garden and how I could add them to my lunch and decided that I would add spinach, kale, cilantro, and some Spring onions to the mix. It was a delicious wrap!

Just as I was ready to sit down to eat my husband called and asked if I would like to meet him at Red Robin for lunch :( I would definitely have preferred his company eating Red Robin food over a solitary lunch no matter how yummy, but we decided to try it some other time :).


1 Sun Dried Tomato Tortilla
2 ounces grilled chicken
1/3-1/2 cup rice
Spinach, Kale, Onions, Sweet Red Pepper, and hot pepper rings, your preferred amount
2 Tablespoons CoJack Cheese, shredded
Chipotle Mayo
Fresh Cilantro
Olive Oil
Sour Cream

Saute' veggies, herbs, and chicken in a little olive oil.


 Heat the rice and assemble the yumminess in the tortilla, wrap it up and serve with sour cream. Enjoy!!

    I'm planning grilled chicken wraps for dinner tonight. I'm also planning to tweak how I usually make them by stealing some of your ideas! Definitely on board with chipotle mayo.

    What a great wrap! I never would have thought to add rice, but it sounds incredible! I, too, make things for lunch that no one else in the family will touch...like hummus :)

    If you find you have too much rice pilaf, I accept leftovers too (it's just my own that I have a hard time with). Thanks for sharing these fabulous wraps at Friday Potluck!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
