Boston.
My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the explosions in Boston. I’m so sorry. Despite everything that’s happened in recent decades America has remained an open trusting society. I’d hate to see that change. I hope those responsible are brought to justice - sooner rather than later. The amazing thing about the events of yesterday? While some people seemed stunned and disbelieving- you could tell from their demeanor the horror simply hadn’t registered yet - even more people ran to help. In the midst of great evil there is still greater good.

I’ve been watching the changing McDonald’s menu with interest. This new premium chicken wrap they’ve been promoting looks pretty dang good.
New Chicken Wraps.
I had some raw tortillas in my cheese drawer so figured, eh… no-brainer. I can make my own chicken wraps. Took all of 30 minutes.
Cooking the tortilla.
You need the following:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced for fajitas
1 bunch scallions
1 bunch radishes
1 English cucumber
1 tomato
gem lettuce
1 package flour tortillas (raw if you can find them)
Sweet chili sauce
Toss the sliced chicken with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, and any seasonings you prefer. Spread in a baking dish and roast at 375′ for approximately 25 minutes.
Roasted seasoned chicken.
While the chicken is cooking, thin-slice veggies and prepare the tortillas.
Sliced veggies.
Sweet chili sauce.
Spread sweet chili sauce over the tortilla. Layer on veggies and chicken. Wrap. Eat. Enjoy.

The events in Boston were horrible. My heart is with everyone there.
Thanks for the recipe. I’ll give this a try soon!
THose look delicious. Great. Now I am hungry.
As long as we run to help, there’s still hope. Your wraps looked much better than the ones from McD! Lovely.
Oh, the Boston story is so sad. I’m still upset by it.
I’m not remotely tempted by the McD wraps. They cook the chicken then freeze it, then reheat it and it gets that horrendous gelatinous texture that’s just revolting. But yours? Oh my, those do look tasty and fresh. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Jaye. It’s going to take us all some time to deal with events in Boston. The McD wraps? I’m not a big McD fan. Prefer Taco Bell for my fast food!
Thanks, Anny. Yes, I agree with you. I think it is in our human nature to help. It’s the best part of us.
Hey Steph - you could use rice wraps!
Yes, Amber, mine too. And you’re welcome.
Horrible events take time to process and unfortunately, we’ve had an overload.
The wraps look wonderful. I’m going to try them.
Hi Julia, I’m guessing your version of the McDonald’s chicken wrap is far, FAR, healthier. Well done! And nice pictures.
Thanks, Stephanie! And again, congrats on the cover! Tweet it! On the flip side, yes, horrible stuff.
Yes, Sara. Plus I figure I can add any veggies I want. Even use marinated tofu if I feel like going vegan.
