Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts cooked with southwest seasoning & shredded
1 Can (5 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
2 green onions, finely sliced
12 cherry tomatoes, diced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 ounces diced green chiles
2 cups shredded cheese
8 ounces sour cream
6 flour tortilla (burrito sized)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions:

Mix together all ingredients from chicken through green chiles. Stir in 6 TBSP of the cheese and 4 TBSP of the sour cream.

Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges. Dollop little bits of sour cream over the cheese. Arrange chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla.

Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open and slightly flatten the wroaps with the palm of your hand. Spray seam-side down of the wrap lightly with cooking spray.

Heat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Arrange wraps, seam-side down, in pan or griddle and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Cooking seam-side down first helps seal the long edge so they don't fall apart. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve warm.

This is a great recipe as it is, but you can add/substitute whatever you have in your kitchen. Very adaptable! Adapted from http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2009/09/crispy-southwest-chicken-wraps.html

Collard Greens with Ham

Ingredients: 1 ½ teaspoons of Kosher salt 2 pounds of collard greens; stemmed, washed in several changes of water, and coarsely chopped Chopped ham 1/4 cup chicken broth Instructions: Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a deep pot. Add the salt and greens and stir until wilted. Cover and cook until the greens are just tender (~7 minutes). Drain in a colander. Rinse the pot with cold water to cool and then refill with cold water. Pour the greens into the cold water to stop the cooking process. Gather a handful of greens, lift out of water, and squeeze dry. Roughly cut up the drained greens and sauté with your bacon fat and the ham. All you gotta do, is add ¼ cup of chicken broth, cover for 2 minutes and you’re done! Collards cooked this way aren’t overly bitter — perfectly tender, bright green, and delicious. Recipe from http://nomnompaleo.com/post/1...
