what's cooking wednesday - buffalo chicken wraps

WCWjpg


This isn't so much a recipe as it is just something I threw together in my quest to find ways to use that delicious buffalo chicken wing sauce on something other than wings. This was just an absolute hit, well with Mike and I anyway.

Buffalo Chicken Wraps

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
1/2 cup buffalo chicken wing sauce (or to taste)
1 tbsp blue cheese dressing
1 cup chopped lettuce
1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
soft flour tortillas

Cut chicken breasts into strips and then toss with the chicken wing sauce. Cook in a preheated contact grill (aka George Foreman Grill) or in a skillet with a drizzle of oil until chicken is cooked through. On a flour tortilla spread the blue cheese dressing, top with lettuce, cheddar and cooked chicken. Fold up the bottom and roll the wrap from left to right (or the opposite I guess if you're a lefty). This should make more than enough for more than two wraps, I 'm guesstimating.

Recipe Notes: I've made this a couple of times so far and sometimes I use the already cut chicken fillets. The last time they had marked down turkey scallopini and that worked out just fine as well. This a great dish as it allows for individual personalization. For example Mike likes tomato, but I have to be in the mood for tomato on a sandwich or wrap. Actually I usually just grill the chicken or turkey and we build our own. You might notice on this one I used a cheese slice because Mike didn't want any and I didn't feel like grating some just for me. This is an easy meal with the kids, Abby gets cheese, mustard and whatever lunch meat we have. I then usually grill it, quesadilla style for her. Maya takes hers with just peanut butter. So everybody still eating something different, but still kind of the same. Good news for the Mom who makes multiple dinners most nights.



What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html

I'll let you in on a little secret. Much to Kaffy's chagrin, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday.

This looks yummy! We sure loved the soup, so we'll have to try this.

This looks like a great idea! Perfect for those evenings -- and we have too many of them -- when you want something spicy, comforting, and fun, but don't have much time to cook.

This is a great idea that I had forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder. It would be a great use of leftovers.
