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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
