We had a pretty nice, relaxing weekend, how about you? Did you do anything fun? Friday we had kindergarten roundup for our 4-year-old. Gosh where does the time go? I can't believe in the fall I'll be sending her to school full-time, it will definitely be a sad day for this momma!
These are one of my favorite wraps, I made them a few weeks ago when we were experiencing really warm temps in the Midwest but they sort of kept getting pushed aside. I love to make this chicken filling especially during the warmer months when I don't feel like heating up the house. It's very versatile, I like to serve it on lettuce leaves like shown in the picture, in tortilla shells like a taco or wrap, or just scoop it up with tortilla chips like a dip. It's full of flavor and good for you too! If you like avocado, that would be really good to add in as well. This is a great base for a wonderful wrap filling, play around with the veggies and spices you like.....make it your own. Have fun in the kitchen, that's what it's all about!
