Warm Cheesy Chicken Wraps



Cheesy chicken wraps with a special ingredient!

I grew up eating pimento cheese sandwiches from time to time. It was often Price's Pimento Cheese on white bread. I always enjoyed it. This takes a classic (pimento cheese) and elevates it into something new and even more delicious. By heating the wrap, the pimento cheese gets all ooey, gooey and warm. That combined with shredded chicken, sauteed red onions and spinach, makes this wrap something special.

So, let's get to it!

Cheesy Chicken Wraps
Ingredients:
Flour tortillas (I used 3 soft taco sized)
1 cup of shredded chicken
Container of pimento cheese or use homemade
half a bag of fresh spinach, torn (mine was a 6oz bag)
½ a red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons of butter

Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and add the red onion and sauté for a minute or two. Then add the spinach and continue sauteing until the spinach is wilted. Add any desired seasoning here as well. I did not add any because I felt the pimento cheese gives so much flavor, but you can add whatever you like to it.

Then add your chicken and continue cooking until the chicken is heated through.
Take your tortilla and spread about 2 tablespoons of pimento cheese down the middle. Then add your desired amount of filling, taking care not to overfill so that you can still close the wrap.
Tuck in the sides of the tortilla and fold over the wrap closing it.

Heat a separate nonstick skillet over medium heat and grill each side of each wrap. This won’t take long on each side, just long enough to heat your pimento cheese and warm the tortilla. I did not use any oil or butter, but feel free to if you would like. Slice each wrap at a diagonal and serve.

Now, let’s talk about tortillas. For the first time, I tried Tortilla Land Soft Taco tortillas.

These are fresh tortillas with only 5 ingredients. They are also lower in sodium than some tortillas, and I watch my sodium amounts. You just heat these for 30 seconds on each side over medium heat.

These were really good. I will definitely be buying them again. I highly encourage you to try them. It does add a step, but I really enjoyed them. And it was fun to see them puff up! *side note, this is not sponsored, I was just impressed with the product! These opinions are my own.

This made 3 soft taco sized wraps for me. If you used larger tortillas, you will probably only get about 2 wraps from this amount of ingredients. So, make sure to multiply ingredients according to how many you want to make and what size tortilla you use.

This makes a delicious lunch or even a light dinner. I hope you try these! If you do, make sure to come back by and let me know what you think!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started! Salt-free Ranch Dressing Mix Ingredients: 4 Tbsp of dried parsley 4 tsp of dried dill 4 tsp of onion powder 4 tsp of minced dried onion 2 tsp of garlic powder 1 tsp of ground black pepper Combine the spices in a bowl and from here you can process them for a bit in a mini food processor to mix well and make some of the parsley smaller or you can use a coffee grinder as a spice grinder. Then place in a contai...
