Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I've been making these so much lately because they are quick, easy and I LOVE them.  So I decided to share with ya'll. The only problem is that I don't ever measure anything! Sorry...I just know how it needs to look and taste so it's just the way I like it.  So here are the ingredients...it might take a few times to get the proportions just the way YOU like them.


1 can chicken
mayonnaise (I'm usually a strong advocate for miracle whip over mayo, but for these mayo is better)
chopped up celery (optional...I don't really love celery)
dash of paprika
squirt or two of lemon juice
generous amount of pepper
craisins (If you ask me, this is the key ingredient.  They give it a little taste of sweetness that is oh so yummy!)

For best results, serve on Grandma Sycamore's white bread.  Seriously, I could eat these sandwiches for lunch every day.  I hope you like them as much as I do!!

Ashley's Southwest Wraps

I really hope I'm not the only one who has a recipe box chock full of mexican style recipes! Here's another one, though. Enjoy!

Burrito or larger sized tortillas (we tried the Mission Multi-Grain wraps- and they are delish!)
1/2 head of romaine lettuce, chopped
3/4 c. black beans- rinsed
1/2 c. kernel corn- rinsed
1 tomato- diced
1 small can sliced black olives
shredded cheese
jalapenos (optional)
cooked chicken- plain- diced (optional)
chipotle ranch salad dressing (or just regular ranch, but Fresh & Easy has an amazing Chipotle Ranch)
salsa

Mix up above ingredients like a salad. Pour on the dressing and salsa to taste. Pile onto the middle of the tortilla, tuck in the ends and roll tightly like a burrito. Slice down the center for your wrap. Mmmm!

Makes about 4 medium-sized wraps
