I’mmmmm baaaaaack! Did you miss me? Did you notice that I was gone? Wait, don’t answer that. I would be devastated if no one noticed that I was gone for a whole week.
I was in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho for the past week and absolutely loved it!! I love trees, and mountains, and big giant lake that is just down the road. What I don’t love? Verizon internet!! I was basically cut off from the world while I was gone. The internet was soooo slow that it continually stalled and I could only have one screen open at a time!
If you are a food blogger, you know that we have several screens open at one time. Facebook, pinterest, picmonkey, recipe page you are working on, post page you are working on, all the other posts that tie into the post you are working on. See, only having one screen open at a time does not work, LOL 😉
So I gave up and decided to just hang out by the lake instead. I really wanted to get an awesome sunset shot at the lake, but it was overcast the last 3 days that I was there. Oh well, maybe next time! 😉
How about some delicious Southwest Chicken Salad Wraps?
I love these wraps!! I make them all the time. They are so simple and versatile, and everyone loves them. If you’re in a hurry, you can use rotisserie chicken and packaged guacamole. But today, we are making them from scratch…and you will be so glad that you did.
Let’s start by preparing the Southwest Chicken…..
Now roll your (4) tortillas in plastic wrap, and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds or so…..
Take one tortilla and place it on a plate. Spread with Guacamole…..
and Black Bean Salsa with Mangoes. Now add your sliced Southwest Chicken…..
then the lettuce and Homemade Ranch Dressing…..
Now fold in two of the sides, then grab the third side and roll up like a burrito…..
Leave whole, or cut in half and serve with Sweet Potato Chips. 🙂
If you have been following along for a while, you know that I have Southwest Chicken Salads for every season. You can change these wraps in the same way, with different dressings and substituting different ingredients for the mangoes. Here are all of the different salads so your family can pick and choose their favorites! 😉
1 – Southwest Chicken Salad for Spring with Guacamole Ranch {avocado}
2 – Southwest Chicken Salad for Summer with Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing {mango}
3 – Southwest Chicken Salad for Fall with Chipotle Ranch Dressing {roast sweet potato}
4 – Southwest Chicken Salad for Winter with Orange Cilantro Dressing {pomegranate}
Next up this week, will be the Northwest Meal that I made for my Mom and her friends. That’s right, I prepared a big meal on my vacation…and it was amazing! Stay tuned…..
Enjoy!!

Lisa, this wrap looks absolutely delicious! Not only would this be great for dinner but I love it for lunch to – always need a fresh non-boring lunch idea! 🙂 Thanks for sharing and pined – happy Monday!
These chicken salad wraps look so delicious! I love wrap sandwiches and am always looking for new ones to try!
Thank you Julie. 🙂
Just that photo of the chicken alone makes me hungry. I love the versatility of this recipe. You could certainly serve this to a crowd, which I love!
Thank you Seana! You’re right, the recipe is a bit deceiving. It makes waaaaay more than just the 4 wraps, LOL I should probably fix that!
Mmmmm-mmmmm! This is my kinda wrap! 🙂 Even though you didn’t get a sunset shot, it sounds like you had a wonderful time!! I could waste the whole day by the lake – no internet needed! 🙂
Thank you Jamie, I did have a wonderful time!
Lisa, I absolutely LOVE it up there in Coeur D’Alene! The trees are so gorgeous. You will have to go up one year on Christmas or in July when all of the (very pricey and elegant) wooden boats are on display at the marina. Very breathtaking… especially when the Christmas lights all decked out on them!
Loving your southwest versions of everything… definitely making these wraps!
That sounds awesome Gloria! My parents won’t be there for Christmas this year, maybe next year I’ll be able to go for Christmas. 🙂 If I hadn’t been sneezing the entire time I was there, I would have moved there. I love the trees and mountains!!
Glad you had a lovely time, Lisa
Thank you Carole! 🙂
Yeah…..one screen would NOT cut it. Best to just give up and enjoy yourself!! This wrap looks awesome, Lisa! SO easy to enjoy!! 🙂
Haha, that’s what I thought Cathy. 🙂 Thanks so much!!
