There are some days where I really don’t want to think about lunch or dinner.

Do you ever have those kinds of days?

I’d say it happens more often than I’d like to admit.

Generally I get busy doing 10 other things that I completely forget about lunch or dinner until it’s time for it.

And that my friends, is why this Mexican Chicken Wrap is a new favorite of ours.

Now if you’ve been a fan of Num’s for a while, you know that I love Mexican dishes.

Generally they are my favorite and I tend to make them quite often.

My poor husband, doesn’t love Mexican food as much as I do and often says something under his breath when I mention we’re eating Mexican again…AGAIN.

However, believe it or not, he likes wraps, and really liked these.

I will admit, that I probably liked it more than he did, but there was no grumbling and he didn’t leave a crumb on his plate…so I’ll consider that a success!

These came to be when I literally had chicken sitting in my fridge with no idea what to make with it.

The chicken needed to be used by that day and my mind was a total blank.

So I looked and saw tortillas and got to work.

I’m sure you could add a little taco seasoning to your chicken to give it a bit more of a kick or even a little hot sauce or some jalapenos.

I however liked this just the way it is.

I’m a huge fan of TASTING my food and not necessarily the HEAT of my food.

And so I tend to opt for green chilies vs jalapenos.

However, what this should tell you is that this Mexican Tortilla Wrap is pretty easy to manipulate to your tastes and a great way to use up some random ingredients sitting around.

So alas, I tossed together a few things I happened to have around the house (notice no tomatoes, of which you can add) and in the end came up with this tasty treat.

Making a few simple ingredients, when placed together, a pretty fantastic meal.

It’s a great meal for lunches, dinner, on-the-go or leftovers.

I will warn, that you shouldn’t skip the dip.

If you aren’t a fan of Mayo, use Greek Yogurt.

But either way, the dip is really where the Mexican flavors come into play, and it’s delicious!
