Recipe: Ranch Chick'n Wraps

This recipe makes 5 wraps, so you can wrap them up and toss them in the fridge where they will last for a couple days, and voila, you have a quick healthy meal.


Silken tofu makes a luxurious base for this smooth and creamy ranch sauce.  It could be used as a dip too.  You just throw everything into your blender or food processor and puree.

Next chop your romaine lettuce and red onion and toss together in a bowl. 




You'll want to brown the chick'n.  I use Gardein Chick'n tenders.  They are amazingly like the real thing and are low in sodium too.  (Gardein brand products are really great - their meatless burger patties are our favorite store-bought veggie burger.  Even my carnivorous father-in-law enjoyed them and said he couldn't tell they weren't the real deal.)



Now its time to make your wraps.  Place a generous heaping down the middle of the tortilla.


Tuck in the sides, roll up and enjoy!
