This Southwest Chicken Wrap is a tasty lunch made with Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Fully Cooked Oven Roasted Diced Chicken Breast, lettuce, tomato, beans, corn, cheese and a Skinny Chipotle Mayo wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla.
After those high calorie holiday meals and extra sugary treats, I force myself make smarter food choices to start off the new year, as many people do. Lunchtime is my “make it or break it” part to my day. It is so easy to grab a soda and fast food mid-day, so it takes extra effort to plan out my lunches and stick to it. Having something tasty, wholesome, convenient, filling and better for me is the goal and this Southwest Chicken Wrap hits all the notes. Plus, I am hitting the gym more frequently so a high protein diet is a must!

Southwest Chicken Wrap
This Southwest Chicken Wrap is a breeze to make thanks to Tyson Grilled and Ready products. You can quickly heat the chicken up in the microwave or cook on the stove-top for 3-5 minutes. I like to add just a drizzle of olive oil to a hot pan, add the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss the chicken until re-heated. SO easy, SO fast and SO convenient for various meals- not just these yummy Southwest Chicken Wraps. The meal possibilities are endless!
Skinny Chipotle Mayo
A good sandwich or wrap has a great sauce. A lot of sauces add a lot of fat/calories that I am trying to stay away from so this Skinny Chipotle Mayo is added to cut back a bit but still supply a lot of flavor.
What you need:
- Light mayonnaise
- Greek yogurt
- Lime juice
- Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce- can be easily found at your local grocery store
- Fresh cilantro
Place ingredients into a food processor and blend until creamy. Store in a sealable container in the fridge for one week. Use on sandwiches, wraps, salads, as a dip and more!
I am getting hungry with all this Southwest Chicken Wrap and Skinny Chipotle Mayo talk. Time to get cooking because lunchtime is here.

For Christmas this year, I finally received a pressure cooker! You know what that means?
Do you own a 
It is time for 
I wasn’t aware of this but a large percentage of cranberries produced are from Oregon and this time of year, cranberries are everywhere! You can’t have a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner without a cranberry dish. I chose to make this Cranberry Poblano Relish and Cream Cheese Dip using Ali’s relish recipe for the simplicity, spice and in spirit of the season.
There are only a few meals in my family that everyone can agree on. Salmon is one of those. My son is against Italian food in general. I know, there might be something seriously wrong with him but I’m hoping he gets over it soon. My daughter is only 2 so she has a hard time chewing some foods or they are just too messy for my patience level. Thank goodness for salmon though! Salmon is great because you can use so many different marinades to get different flavors your family enjoys, it is healthy, quick to prepare and cook, and it tastes amazing!
I have talked about how to pick out salmon a few times here on the blog. Check out the 
Sweet ‘N’ Spicy Baked Salmon tastes both a little sweet and a little spicy. Duh, Amber. Honey always adds the perfect amount of sweetness when cooking. Sriracha brings in a bit of heat but is not overwhelming. If you want it extra spicy, add more sriracha. Soy sauce and garlic are also added into the marinade to give more flavor and a bit of an Asian cuisine taste profile. Garnish the salmon with any kind of herb you like. I sprinkled some parsley on top today because that is what I had on hand. Scallions would have also be a nice touch.
2. Create a spot near the family for the dogs to eat. Have an area just for the dogs where the children are not allowed to go and bother them eating. Set up their bowls, maybe some placements under the bowls in case of spills. I have tried over and over again to separate the dogs from one another but they end up on top of each other regardless. Chance eats about 3/4 of his bowl and then lays down to wait for Bella to finish eating and then polishes off all the food. I guess they have it all worked out amongst themselves. The important thing is that nobody is going over to them while eating and the kids aren’t sticking their fingers in the food and disrupting dinnertime. Let the dogs relax in their own space.
There are really no special tips and tricks for this recipe. It is crazy easy to throw together. Just make sure to use all fresh ingredients. Mushy tomatoes or cilantro that isn’t green and bright, could kill the taste. If your lime isn’t very juicy, you can squeeze 2 into the mixture. A nice tip to get the most out of your lime, use the palm of your hand to roll the lime on the counter before cutting and squeezing. I have also popped them into the microwave for 20 seconds to get the most juice possible from them.
