Warm Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad Wrap

Truth: in the Summer, I'm more of a "cook once, serve twice" kind of girl.

My family would say it's more of a "cook once, serve as many times as you can!"

Either way, it's too hot to be doing a lot of cooking in the kitchen . . .and too much baseball to watch!

With the southwest corn dip that my mom made for the 4th of July celebration, we had left-overs.

Because I don't really like left-overs, left-over, I try to re-invent them.

With left-over grilled chicken . . .

Left-over southwest corn dip . . .

Left-over grated cheese . . .

. . . and tortillas,

I created this!
Warm Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad Wrap

Grilled chicken, sliced very thinly against the grain*
Southwest Corn Dip
Shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
Tortillas
Butter

Preheat skillet to medium heat.

Add a smidge of butter; enough to coat the bottom of the pan.

Place a tortilla on the counter. Fill with the corn dip. Top with the sliced chicken. Sprinkle with just enough cheese to "hold" it together once melted.

Fold in the 2 sides, then roll the tortilla over until closed.

Place seam side down in hot pan, allowing the butter to coat the tortilla. Then flip to coat the other side.

Warm the wrap until golden brown on both sides and heated thoroughly. (You may have to turn the heat down a bit so that the inside warms without the tortilla burning.)

Serve immediately.

*Leaving the chicken out makes for a very satisfying vegetarian meal.

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
