Southwest Chicken Wraps

Yesterday was a crazy evening in our house!  My husband's truck was in the shop for a few days.  It was finally ready to be picked up, and luckily, it wasn't too expense to repair!  I am also thankful to not have to take him to work in the morning anymore.  It made my busy mornings even harder!  Any way, we had to drive into town to pick up the truck from the repair shop, and I had to make a run to Walmart.  My son's 100th day project was an epic fail.  I needed glue fast!

Since we live pretty far out of town, this took awhile.  I knew we would never be able to eat dinner at a decent time if I made what was planned.  I contemplated doing drive thru or grabbing a pizza, but that wasn't going to get me to my health and fitness goals.  I decided that while searching for a better glue in Walmart, I'd grab something for dinner.  It needed to be fast and it needed to be healthy!



Finally, some inspiration hit!  I found some whole wheat tortillas and grabbed a rotisserie chicken.  I had shredded cheese at home, but I needed veggies!  I went to the frozen food aisle.  I found a blend of sliced red and green peppers and onions.  Perfect!  I can sauté them in no time, and the bonus was that I didn't have to chop anything.  I wanted something else too.  Two freezers down, I found a Southwestern quinoa blend with mango, black beans, peppers and corn.  It looked delicious and cooked in 4 minutes!  I had some salsa verde at home.  Dinner solved!

Final score -
Take out - 0  Brie - 1

And, as a bonus, the new glue worked much better for those pesky eyeballs!
