Super Easy Chicken Wraps
submitted by Stefanie Green
Woman's World and on the "Morning Show
My kids really love this and I do too because it is so easy, yummy and inexpensive.
* * *
Ingredients:
1 pkg. tortillas
2-3 fresh tomatoes
1 bottle ranch dressing
1 jar hot wing sauce (mild or hot)
1 pkg. breaded or plain chicken breast (you can also use fresh chicken breast, breaded and fried--or grilled--however I think it costs more and takes much longer)
Directions:
Cook chicken as directed on package then cut into slices. Heat tortillas in the microwave (quickest). Place tortilla on plate, add chicken, tomatoes, wing sauce and ranch dressing. Wrap and enjoy!
These are super delicious and you can mix and match your toppings to suit you. All together it takes about 25 minutes to make and feeds a bunch so it goes a long way!
