• Chicken Tender Wrap

    Frozen, breaded chicken tenders and flour tortillas turn into spicy chicken wraps with bold flavor and a pop of bright citrus.

    ingredients

    amountingredient
    1flour tortilla, large, warmed
    1 slicecheese, American (optional)
    1 – 2chicken tenders, spicy
    to tastemayonnaise
    to tastehot sauce
    to tasteonions & jalapeños, pickled
    to tastecilantro, fresh, chopped
    to tastelettuce greens

    assembly

    1. heat tortilla according to preference (see notes below)
    2. if using cheese, lay cheese on top of hot tortilla and add hot chicken tender on top so the cheese melts easily
    3. layer the rest of the ingredients on top, ending with the lettuce so that you can more easily hold things down to roll without getting your hands dirty
    4. roll up tortilla; it’s not necessary for complete overlap if you’re careful with holding it properly while eating

    notes

    • naturally, all amounts are to-taste so do and use whatever you like
    • tortilla can be heated any way you prefer:
      • stovetop: on a griddle, tawa, comal, or dry frying pan, turning to get nice brown spots and taking it off the heat once desired doneness is reached; do not heat too long or it will become crunchy and not foldable
      • microwave: lay tortilla on microwave -safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel, heat until just warmed through; this will yield a soft, pliable tortilla that’s not crunchy at all
      • airfryer / toaster oven / oven: heat for a few minutes until warmed through; avoid getting brown spots as it will turn into a giant tortilla chip pretty quickly, especially in a toaster oven or air fryer which works faster than a standard oven
    • any chicken tender will work, I use a spicy breaded variety and pop it in the airfryer for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through
    • I use Frank’s hot sauce and find the simplicity of it plays nicely with both the mayo and pickles
    • for the greens, use whatever you have on hand: iceberg, spring mix, spinach, arugula, celery tops, romaine, etc.

  • Mashed Potato Bowl

    Build a mashed potatoes bowl by adding leftovers you already have on hand. This is a great way to clear out the fridge and use up items on their last legs. Food waste is bad, mkay?

    Vegetables

    Steamable vegetables like corn, spinach, or broccoli are easiest, whether fresh or frozen. Just pop them into the microwave until desired tenderness is reached.

    For fresh vegetables that release a lot of liquid, like onions, mushrooms or bell peppers, you can roast them in the oven or give them some heat on the stovetop, first.

    The mashed potatoes themselves can also be microwaved. Add a little bit of liquid (water, milk, or cream) to keep them from drying out too much, if that’s a concern.

    Protein

    Bulk up your bowl with whatever meat or beans you have on hand, whether that’s chapli kabab, chicken tenders, deli meat, or leftover lentils.

    If adding meat, I’d avoid heating it in the microwave, since I hate the taste of microwaved meat. Either heat it separately via another method (stovetop, oven, toaster oven or airfryer), or simply bury it under the piping hot vegetables for a few minutes to warm up.

    Toppings

    Mix everything up and add gravy or cream sauce to keep things from getting too dry. Other toppings include jams or jellies for a bit of sweetness, chutneys for a chatpata kick, or your favorite hot sauce.

    Other suggestions include cheese, fresh herbs, fresh cracked black pepper. Use what you have.

    This is a Little Caesar’s copycat recipe. It can be used immediately if necessary, but the flavor will be best after it’s been in the fridge for 3-5 days.
