TBI took one look at Goddess Moxie's chicken tortilla wrap and had to have one.

Because I'm watching the pennies, I decided to grant his wish. A bag of chicken tenders is a cheap way to get lotsa meat. Plus, it's super-good for you.

Speaking of super, Moxie also mentioned "super foods" in her blog and is incorporating them in her quest for better health. I also have read over and over again about the merits of these foods for pregnant women and their internal charges, so I'm trying to incorporate them as best I can.

For lunch today I had a "make your own" wrap buffet for TBI and myself. I thawed an entire bag of tenders, even though we only needed four or five for our wraps. (More on the rest of the bag later).

Ingredients:

Five or six chicken tenders
salt and pepper
Chipotle seasoning from a bottle (whatever ya got - we like Rent-A-Chef brand, you can get it Hy-Vee)
four to six strips of bacon
fixin's (my list to follow)
tortillas

TBI loves that Chipotle stuff, but it's a little spicy for me. Plus, I was in the mood for feta and I just didn't see my flavor palette going with that seasoning, so I just doctored my strips (and the rest of the bag) up with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. TBI covered his in the spicy stuff.

He grilled the whole bag of tenders, once coated with seasonings, on the George Foreman Grill, because it was a little cold and labor intensive to fire up outdoor coals. You could cook them in the oven or the stovetop or whatever you like.

I fried the bacon, because you can't have a wrap without bacon. Even if its not a super food.

I made up a little spread which I like to put all over the ENTIRE tortilla, edge to edge:

Ingredients:
3 tablespoons mayo (low fat, if you're nasty)
pinch of kosher salt
pinch of cracked pepper
2 tsp. horseradish - we like extra hot
1 tablespoon sour cream
2 cloves roasted garlic (which I roasted in bacon grease, oh yeah)

stir it up and let it stand for awhile while your chicken cooks.

I put out an array of toppings and fixins.

TBI used pickled jalapeno slices, shredded pepper jack cheese, fresh cilantro, and red onion along with his spicy chicken, tortilla spread, and bacon.

I had the non-spicy chicken inside my spreaded tortilla, with the bacon, feta cheese, red onion, black olives, and avocado slices.

And with it, I prepared a little salad of fresh spinach, feta, cranberries, red onion, walnuts (super food!) and green pepper.

What a delicious and fresh lunch! Ours wasn't as healthy as Moxie's (thank you, bacon, for controlling our lives), but I feel pretty good about it. If our camera worked I'd have taken a picture of the spread on the table, which was pretty satisfying too.
