Tasty Tuesday

Here's another great recipe from "The Best Simple Recipes" by America's Test Kitchen. I have never gotten a cookbook that I've loved so much & we now have requests for this cookbook from family. It is available on Amazon if anyone is interested. So here's the selection for this Tuesday!

Crispy Chicken Salad Wraps

1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 scallions, sliced thin
2 celery ribs, chopped fine
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded(about 3 cups)
Salt & pepper
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
10 inch flour tortillas

1. Whisk mayo, cilantro, scallions, celery, sour cream & hot sauce in bowl. Add chicken & toss to combine. season with salt & pepper.

2. Sprinkle 1/2 cup cheese in each tortilla, leaving 1/2 inch border around edges, then arrange chicken salad in center of tortillas. Roll stuffed tortillas, spray all over with vegetable oil spray & sprinkle with salt & pepper.

3. Cook wraps, seam side down, in large non-stick skillet over medium heat until golden brown & crisp, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to plate & repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.

This was also awesome as leftovers! I just warmed the mixture slightly & put it in a flour tortilla without making it crispy for a quick lunch. I'm not much of a celery fan & neither are my kids but I chopped it really fine & no one seemed to notice it was in there. Next time I said that we should try colby or pepper jack cheese. Enjoy!
