My modified version of the chicken salad wraps found here: Santa Fe Chicken Salad Wrap, Creamy Avocado Chicken Salad

 

For the Chicken Salad
2/3 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 – 3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 - 2 tablespoon minced cilantro
2 – 3 green onions, sliced thin
2 cups poached, diced or shredded chicken (or grilled is great)
¼ cup tomatoes, diced

¼ cup black beans, rinsed and drained
1/3 cup corn kernels

 

I just throw everything in a bowl and mix… and slop it on a shell and your ready!

Spinach Salad Wrap

I usually pass by recipes that are in a magazine but this one i decided to try. It was AWESOME! One of our new found favorites. Of course i change the recipe to make it my own (and better).
Super simple! Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
I used only 1 Tbsp. and i used white vinegar… i don’t like vinegar very much
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 tsp. snipped fresh parsley
I didn’t have this
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. dry mustard
I used plain o’mustard from the bottle… but i used the same amount as above.
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 5-oz. pkg. fresh baby spinach (about 5 cups)
We didn’t use near 5 cups! I just put it in the as if it was lettuce or something… not piles of it!
  • 6 10-inch flour tortillas
  • 6 slices mozzarella cheese, torn in half
Shredded works fine too…. once again no measuring needed just sprinkle on your shell. Think taco!
  • 8 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 12 slices bacon, crisp cooked and drained
Could add:
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • 3 hard-cooked eggs, sliced
Bacon is the main ingredient! As far as the toppings, do your own thing if you don’t like mushrooms or eggs. I had it with mushrooms, tomatoes and green pepper…. were as my Husband only had tomatoes and loved it! I would suggest tomatoes!

Directions:

1.For dressing, in a small bowl whisk together vinegar, sour cream, sugar, parsley, salt, garlic, and dry mustard until combined. Whisk in the olive oil; set dressing aside.
2.Divide spinach among flour tortillas. Top with cheese, mushrooms, bacon, red onion, and sliced eggs. Drizzle with dressing.
3.Roll up tortillas. If necessary, secure with toothpicks. If desired, wrap in waxed paper and cut in half to serve.
