Chicken-French Fry Wraps

Yesterday, I had a BIG grocery shopping day.  I have really been enjoying Pinterest and all of the recipes it offers so I stocked up with plans to make many of the goodies I have found recently.  I got home from school this morning with intentions of making Chicken Teriyaki only to realize that I had put ALL of the pineapple I bought and chopped into smoothie packs even though I was pretty sure I needed some for something else, namely Chicken Teriyaki.  This left me with nothing for supper and now it's lunchtime and I have no ideas for lunch either.  Dona reads for two hours everyday during the summer and I had an hour of her reading time left to whip something up.  

I looked through the freezer and found chicken patties and french fries for recipes I plan to make in the near future.  I remembered having a wrap a couple of years ago with breaded chicken in it which I thought was really weird until I tasted it.  Yum!  And I thought, well, why not some potatoes in there, too?  So, I grabbed them and some Philadelphia Cooking Cream and set off to make lunch.  This is what I came up with.

Flour tortillas

Philadelphia Cooking Cream, Santa Fe Blend

Tomato, sliced and cut into strips

Shredded Cheddar cheese

Chicken patties

French fries

Bake the chicken patties (any chicken would work, really.  I just used the patties because I had them on hand) and French fries (I used seasoned ones).  In the meantime, spread some Cooking Cream on each tortilla.  Sprinkle some cheese down the center of each and lay slices of tomato on both sides of the cheese.

When the chicken (if you are using chicken patties, cut them into strips) and French fries are cooked, Place chicken on top of the cheese and the French fries on both sides of the chicken.

Then, just wrap the edges up around the filling .  Stick a toothpick in there if you need to to keep it closed until time to eat.  We rounded ours off with half an apple and some Nutella to dip it in.  

These turned out to be a little dry.  I could maybe have made the Cooking Cream a little thicker.  Donna, my 10 year old daughter noted, however, that the tomato makes them a little juicy.

After the big storm that ripped through here on June 29, I learned that Nutella is like magic with apples.  We often dip apples in peanut butter but I get Smuckers natural and it has to be refrigerated.  I pop it in the microwave for a few seconds to make it spreadable.  However, we were without power for 4 1/2 days and without the microwave, peanut butter with our apples was not going to happen unless I set it out on the porch (it was around 95 every day) to soften up in the heat.  I spied the jar of Nutella on the counter and not wanting to wait as long as it would take for the peanut butter, I decided to give it a try. Oh my goodness, we have never been so grateful for not having electricity!  Delish!
