Fast food alternative...

Next time you're tempted to do a Golden Arches run, consider this super easy alternative instead...
take a warmed flour tortilla...

sprinkle on some shredded cheese (we used pepper jack)...

make a Caesar salad kit and add 1/2 cup to the center of the tortilla...

add some chunks of a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken...

Roll up into a delicious Chicken Caesar Wrap. Serve with fresh fruit.

VOILA! A much healthier, cheaper, and tastier alternative to dinner at McDonalds!

*Note: I got this idea from my new blogging friend, Lolli's recipe blog. It looked so easy and intriguing I had to give it a try. The kids loved putting them together as much as they loved eating them. I'm definitely filing this one away for our Tuesday night dinner crunch when I get home from the kids' piano lessons at 6:00 still wondering what to make.

I'm glad you tried it and liked it! Isn't easy and (semi) fresh great?! And of couse it's ok for you to re-post! :)

That looks very yummy. I will have to try it. Another time crunch that I like to make is you get a tostada shell, put black beans on it, then cook two eggs any style you like, that goes on next, then add sour cream, onions, cheese, and pace picante sauce. It doesn't look yummy, but very delicious!

Not that I am too hard to please, but these were very simple and very good! I foresee these being a mainstay on our menu going forward.

thanks for the idea! it looks yummy! I enjoy reading your blog Lara and YOU are definitely not lazy! I don't have as high of a standard of cleanliness either because there are too many kids and too little time. Spend all my time cleaning and no time with them? Hmmm, now I got smarter and focus my time figuring out how to get them to clean and still spend more time together. :)
