If you are looking for a delicious, high protein meal that tastes great and is quick to prepair, these wraps are a great option. I typically will cook my chicken ahead of time so that I can throw this together when I'm in a hurry. See Healthy Meals: Oven Baked Chicken Breast
More pictures soon to come!
Ingredients:
Sriracha Chicken Wraps:
- Chicken Breast (Cooked and diced)
- Tortilla Wraps (you can use flour one, whole wheat ones, or even a leaf of lettuce)
- Sriracha Sauce
- Low-Fat cheese
- Lettuce (optional)
- Ranch (optional)
Sweet Potato Fries:
- One Large Sweet Potato
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Coarse Sea Salt
- Coarse Ground Black Pepper
1. Layer the tortilla with the lettuce, chicken, and low-fat cheese. Add sriracha sauce to taste. Roll up tightly. You can either serve it cold, or for an added crunch, I sometimes like to place my wrap in a pan on medium heat and warm it up.
Sweet Potato Fries
1. Preheat the oven to 450 Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil.
2. You can either peel the potato or leave the skin on - if you leave it on, be sure to scrub it thoroughly and be sure to dry it off so the oil will be able to stick to it. Once peeled, cut it length wise into large slices about 3/4 inch thick. You'll then cut the larger slices into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick fries. (or for quicker to cut, less fry shaped fries, you can cut them into 1/2 inch rounds)
3. Dry off the sweet potato fries and pile them onto the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. (about 1 - 2 Tbs.) Sprinkle with sea salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix it all up to coat evenly then spread

4. Place them in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. After the time has passed, take them out and flip them. Once they're flipped, put them back in the oven and attempt to resist the delicious smell coming from your oven for another 10 minutes.
5. Both sides should now be browned, crispy, and delicious! Normal fries just won't taste the same after these grace your plate! :)
