Crispy Chicken Wraps

Crispy Chicken Wraps

1/3 cup mayonnaise, light or regular
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 scallions, sliced very thin
2 celery ribs, chopped fine
2 tablespoons sour cream, light or regular
2 teaspoons hot sauce (this does not make them spicy but adds great flavor!)
1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
4 (12-inch) flour tortillas

1. Whisk the mayonnaise, cilantro, scallions, celery, sour cream and hot sauce in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to combine.

2. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray.

3. Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve

To prevent the wraps from unrolling during cooking, be sure to start them seam-side down in step 3.

Easy Yummy Frosting

Easy Yummy Frosting

This is probably the easiest, yummy frosting...

1 pint (the regular size) whipping cream. Not cool whip! It must be the kind you whip yourself. It is about 1 cup.
1 small package chocolate (or vanilla) instant pudding.

Pour in a bowl and mix with mixer. It thickens up really fast so if it becomes too thick you can add a little milk. You have to store your cupcakes or cake in the fridge because of the cream.
