    I love anything that is with a tortilla wrapper. This is a perfect recipe for me. Since I am currently looking for more recipe with tortilla wrapper.

    Whenever I am outside grilling chicken for dinner in the evening, I always throw a few extra pieces on so that I can make quick lunch wraps like this. You can prepare them the night before, wrap them in foil, and take them right to the office with you. All you have to do is take them out of the foil and microwave them!
