Chicken Caesar Wraps

Here's an easy lunch or dinner. 

I came across something similar on an Instagram account where a mom made incredible meals for her large family every night. These were something they had for lunch. I can't be bothered to make actual lunch so that didn't quite hit for me but I decided to try them anyway. Along those same lines, I had to eventually unfollow because the unrealistic standards of making elaborate dinners every night and shopping only at Whole Foods made me a little crazy. I like to cook but I don't want to spend more than 30 minutes, hands on time, at the stove. Lately, since it's been staying light later in the day, I've been starting dinner later too. It's only a matter of time before we are eating at 8pm again because it's so light out that we lose track of time. 

But I've made this with frozen chicken nuggets cooked in the air fryer, rotisserie chicken, grilled chicken, chicken I've pan fried on the stove, etc. You can do whatever you want! I can see us eating this a lot in the warmer months because it truly can be a no-cook dinner. 

Large tortillas or burrito wraps

Cooked chicken, seasoned however you want

Caesar salad mix

Extra shredded parmesan cheese, extra dressing (I use ranch), extra croutons

In a large bowl, toss all the ingredients together. I add extra cheese and croutons because, depending on the mix you buy, they can be a little skimpy on the toppings. I also add extra dressing to make the wraps stick together better. 

Put together a burrito any way you can (I'm terrible at it) and slice in half.

Spinach Pesto Sandwich

I am fully willing to admit that I miss one thing about Alaska.  I expected this to happen. 

I cannot get those spinach pesto wraps anymore.  Those ones that I ate almost every Sunday for 3 months (click on the link above to see a picture).

Normally, I'm not a sandwich person at all.  I just don't care about them.  Not that I don't care for them. I just don't care one way or the other. Sandwiches could disappear and I'd be okay with it.  I'm one of those people who will not go near mayonnaise.  Sandwiches tend to hide mayonnaise really well, so I've become used to saying "no, thanks" when sandwiches are around (just in case).

But this particular flavor combination is something I would eat if you topped a slab of wood with it.  It's that good!  Heck, I would even eat it on salmon, or meatloaf, or any of those other foods I refuse to touch.  Maybe.

So, to make this restaurant-quality sandwich, you need certain ingredients.  The combination of the feta, pesto, balsamic, and sun-dried tomatoes gives it an unbelievably rich taste.  Don't leave any of that out!  It took me a couple of tries to perfect the flavor, so I've really done the hard work for you (taste-testing and all).

My only complaint is that it's a lot of ingredients.  But these kind of ingredients last forever in the fridge, so aside from buying fresh veggies, this is something you can keep in the back of your head to make for lunch or a quick dinner (maybe with some couscous?) when you're in a pinch.

Spinach Pesto Flatbread

1 flatbread
1 roma tomato, diced or sliced
Some red onion, diced or sliced
Feta, 2-3 T., crumbled
Cucumber, diced or sliced
Sun-dried tomatoes, 4 or 5 little slices
Pesto (homemade or jarred), 1 T.
Balsamic vinegar, 1 t. drizzled
Baby spinach

On top of your flatbread, spread the pesto evenly (like you're saucing a pizza). Drizzle on the balsamic, sprinkle on the feta and sun-dried tomatoes.  Pile on the onion, tomato, cucumber, and spinach to your liking.  Bell pepper would be great too.

Fold it in half and press down (it'll be messy).  Cut in half to eat or you can eat it like a taco. Enjoy!
