BBQ Chicken Caesar Wraps

Quick and easy – these are sooo good!

These are a favorite meal in the summertime. My mom and I went to a cooking class years ago by Stacy Joers, and this was one of the recipes - definitely a keeper. I've often served them for a larger gathering, and had platters arranged so people can build their own wraps.

We're doing these tonight on the grill, unless the rain forces us inside to the grill pan.

BBQ Chicken Caesar Wraps

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt & Pepper to taste

Barbeque sauce to taste (use your favorite BBQ sauce)

1 head romaine lettuce

Caesar dressing (make your own or use store bought)

6 10” flour tortillas

Red onion (optional)

Season chicken breasts with salt& pepper to taste. Grill or broil until done. During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush chicken breasts liberally on both sides with BBQ sauce. This is important - if you go slathering the sauce on right away, you lose a lot of it to the grill, and the meat will end up looking and tasting burned.

While the chicken is cooking, toss the romaine with enough of the Caesar dressing to coat. Warm the tortillas by wrapping in foil and placing in a 350°oven for 5 minutes, or place the foil wrapped package right on the grill, or microwave between sheets of paper towel for 15-20 seconds. Slice chicken into 1/4”strips and place on a platter with the Caesar salad. To assemble, take warm tortilla and fill with Caesar salad. Top with chicken strips. We like to add in thinly sliced red onion for a little bite. Serve immediately.

Layered Mexican Trifle Salad

So this is awesome. It's a lot of work, but it is awesome. Feeds a crowd, looks cool, tastes great. What more can you ask for? I first had this at a party, and then tracked down the recipe - I believe it was originally from Pampered Chef. You can mix it up, but I really like this combo. It's easy to double or whatever is needed, based on the serving dish. The one pictured was MASSIVE, and was basically a triple batch - so much work, and at the last minute! Layered Mexican Trifle Salad I ngredients: Beans: drain, rinse and mix together 1 15 oz. can pinto beans and 1 15 oz. can black beans 1 15 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained (I've also used fresh) 1 large tomato, diced (I usually use several Roma tomatoes) 2 green bell peppers, diced 3 ripe avocadoes, diced and mashed with the juice of 1 lime and salt and pepper to taste 1 large onion, diced (red or white) 2 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded 2 cups cheddar or jack cheese, shredded

Shredded Korean-Style Beef

I could eat this Korean-style shredded beef every week - the kids love it, the husband loves it, and it's so easy! This recipe is a great one for a freezer meal, too - I usually make a double batch to serve half and freeze the other half. It's a go-to when I need a meal to share with a someone who needs one in our school community. I'll throw in a bag of tortilla chips and guac with pico, some fresh pineapple or other fruit, and all of the fixings for the tacos. You can even buy pre-washed lettuce leaves for wraps if you want to include those and you want a short-cut. It seems to be a universal favorite for kids and adults. Shredded Korean-Style Beef 2-3 lb. chuck roast 1/2 medium white onion, diced 1/3 c. low-sodium soy sauce 1 tbsp. rice vinegar 1 tsp. sesame oil 1/3 c. honey 4 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp. fresh ginger, grated (or 1 tsp. ground) 1/2 jalapeno, minced 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper Put in the roast and onions in your slow cooker, and whi

Oven Baked Pizza Subs

I have fond memories of pizza subs from my college days. We would scrounge up any change or small bills we could find, and pile in someone's car and head to Mineo's for a late night pizza sub. They were cheap, and they were hot, melty, and delicious. Here's my attempt at a recipe: Oven Baked Pizza Subs 4-6 hoagie rolls oregano or Italian seasoning slices of provolone cheese (or mozzarella) slices of pepperoni (I get it sliced at the deli for nice big pieces) slices of genoa salami slices of your favorite ham, sliced very thin 1/2 lb. Italian sausage, browned and drained (turkey Italian sausage is pretty good - optional) your favorite pizza sauce veggies if desired (and I desire them on the parental sandwiches) - thin green pepper slices, thin onion slices, mushrooms if you're into them, banana peppers, etc. Have on hand: shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes and if you like, mayo - for a really delish spread, mix some mayo, a dash of red wine vinegar, a tiny scoop
