Southwestern Chicken Salad Wraps

Hey folks!

First off how do we like the new layout? Spiffy eh? Done by yours truly :). We needed a change after the same layout for months on end.

So onto tonight's dish. I won't be reviewing the meal. Sadly when I was mixing the ingredients together and took a taste it caused a small gastric attack (I've had Gastric Reflux Disease for a few years now) so I knew right then eating this (YUMMY!) dish wasn't gonna fly unless I wanted to be sick all night. No thanks. So ma's going solo tonight for this one. Too bad cause this one has promise.

Here's what you'll need:

Southwestern Chicken Salad Wraps

Ingredients:
*1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
*Two packages about two and two half pounds Perdue boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into half inch pieces
*One cup of ranch salad dressing
*Half cup of mayonnaise

*Half cup Sliced celery
*1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
*2 tablespoons sliced green onion
*One package supersize flour tortillas
*Half cup Sargento Chef style mild cheddar shredded cheese

*Divide salad among tortillas top with cheese and fold
(Makes 10 wraps)

Tid Bits:
*If you don't like red peppers substitute them for green peppers.
*If you don't like that much spice only use half the fajita seasoning packet instead of the whole packet.


Ma's Spot: I had this recipe for 13 years And I've never  tried it  before. Looking through my recipes I thought it would be a good idea to try it. And I'm glad I did because it was really really good. It was a little too spicy for me so next time I'm only using half packet of seasoning. I love the creaminess of the mayonnaise and ranch dressing together. I cooked the chicken and mixed the dressing the night before. I put it together the next day to serve for dinner. It doesn't take much to fill in the shell so it does go a long way. So if you're having a busy week put this together before your week begins and you'll have a nice go to dinner. Will I make this again? Absolutely and once you've tried it I'm sure you will too.




SNACK CORNER:* It's time for snack corner! Where we take new snacks in the grocery store and break it down for you. We tell you which are hot and which
are not. Let's get to this week's pick:

WW Points: *2 per cake



Dinah: So for tonight's snack corner we have the Weight Watchers lemon creme cake. I was actually excited to try these cakes because I'm a big fan of lemon and lemon cream cakes themselves but to my surprise they weren't  that tasty. the word horrible comes to mind. Where do I begin? Greasy, stale, and the "creme" tasted like lemon pudding with the skin from the fridge. Honestly the worst part was the grease. I could have sworn that it being Weight Watchers that they'd hold the grease? Guess not. I had such high hopes for this treat but it's a dud all the way around. Skip these on your next shopping trip.


Ma: I like Weight Watchers products. I love their line of desserts. I really liked the lemony filling in the middle of this cake. Unlike my daughter I loved the icing on top. I did find the cake a little dry but it was still good. I'd give it an 8 out of 10. They're a little expensive for my taste but luckily I had a coupon. Would I buy these again? With a coupon again or on sale, sure.






That's it for tonight. We'll see you back here next Tuesday when we'll have a special guest for the blog. My hubby Geoff is making up his hoagie recipe and you don't wanna miss it! Have a great week guys!
