Whats on the Table?

Tonight is one of my (many!) favourites! Chicken rice wraps with salsa and cheese! Made of course with homemade Flour Tortillas! I lay cheese on the bottom add chicken and rice and then top with chunky salsa. I wrap them up in tinfoil and bake for 20-25 minutes at 375F. And before you ask...its not homemade salsa. But hopefully by fall it will be if my tomato plants produce well!
This is not only a great tasting meal but its easy on the food budget too! My husband eats ALOT and I make this meal with only 2 large chicken breasts chopped up. Last time it lasted us for 2 suppers!! Hubby doesn't eat many veggies so I usually just have raw carrots on the side or something like that but I know that adding peppers, peas etc. would be great too!

Flour Tortillas

Fresh tortillas make all the difference whether you are making quesadillas, tacos, burritos or wraps! This recipe is super easy and tastes soooo good!
Ingredients:
2 Cups  Flour
1 1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
A pinch of salt
2 Tsp. Oil
3/4 Cup Warm Milk

Mix dry ingredients together. Add the oil to the warm milk. Slowly add the milk/oil to the dry ingredients while stirring. Knead on a floured surface until dough becomes firm and soft. Let rest for 20 minutes.
Note: Dough is resting, not rising.
Form into balls and let rest for 10 minutes
Roll out in a circular shape very thinly.
Cook on a dry skillet on high heat. Turn when bubbles appear.
Cook the other side briefly.
Store on a plate covered in tin foil until you are ready to use them. They will dry out very quickly if left on the counter. You can freeze them in an airtight container for later use. Or make a bunch at once and have them handy to pull out at a moments notice!
