Did someone say Taco Bell??

My kids have tired of the chicken salad that I love dearly but they would love me to run them by Taco Bell!!! I have to admit running out of ideas for a quick and healthy lunch? Are you feeling the same way? Well, I will snip it in the bud! Try making these delicious chicken wraps for a change of pace. You can even assemble them the night before — just be sure to keep them well-chilled — for a satisfying brown-bag lunch the next day! The secret ingredient? Chutney — it takes the flavor to the next level! So wrap away!

Chutney Chicken Wrap

Makes 4 wraps

Ingredients
2 tablespoons chutney
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise(I hate mayonnaise so I used Miracle Whip)
4 low-fat tortillas (8-inch diameter)
4 large red-lettuce leaves
2 cups shredded, cooked chicken breast or 8 ounces sliced, smoked turkey breast (from the deli)
1 cup finely shredded carrots

Directions
Mix the chutney and mayonnaise in a small bowl. If you have time, cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes for the flavors to develop.

Spread a scant 1 1/2 tablespoons of the chutney mixture on each tortilla. Top each with a lettuce leaf, 1/2 cup chicken or 2 ounces turkey, and 1/4 cup carrots. Roll the wraps tightly and cut in half diagonally. Delicious!

Hmmm, I haven't tried chutney much at all, but this looks great. I'm saving for future reference!

Yum! Sounds delicious, even if my 12 year old would prefer Taco Bell!
