Notes

For an extra kick of flavor, marinate the chicken in Caesar dressing for extra flavor before grilling. Grilling the chicken adds a smoky flavor, but you can also use a skillet or oven if preferred. Add additional toppings such as cherry tomatoes, croutons, or bacon bits for extra texture and taste. Serve the wraps immediately to maintain the crispness of the lettuce and tortilla. Enjoy!

Oven Baked Onion Rings

Start with a large sweet onion and slice it into rings, separating them gently. Now, prep a dredging station: In one bowl, whisk together some flour, salt, and pepper. In a second bowl, beat a couple of eggs. And in a third, mix together breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch!) with a bit of paprika or your favorite seasonings. Dip each onion ring into the flour, ensuring it's coated, then into the egg wash, and lastly, press it into the breadcrumbs, ensuring it's well-coated. Arrange the coated rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spritz them lightly with cooking spray which will help achieve that golden color. Bake in a preheated oven until they're crispy and golden brown.

Chunky Potato Salad

Start with some good-quality, sturdy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Boil them until they're fork-tender but still hold their shape. Once cooled, cut them into generous chunks. Mix in some finely chopped celery and red onion, adding both crunch and a touch of zesty flavor. For the dressing, combine mayonnaise, a dash of mustard, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, creating a creamy blend that brings everything together. Once the potatoes are coated in this rich dressing, transfer the salad to a serving dish. For the finishing touch, give it a generous sprinkle of paprika on top. Not only does it add a subtle smokiness, but it also gives the salad a vibrant pop of color.

Vinegar Cole Slaw

Start by thinly slicing or shredding a head of purple cabbage. Toss it in a bowl with some julienned carrots for a touch of sweetness and contrasting color. You can also throw in any additional veggies as desired. For the dressing, whisk together apple cider vinegar, a splash of olive oil, a pinch of sugar (or honey) to balance out the tartness, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and maybe a dash of celery seed. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrots, giving everything a good toss to ensure every bite is coated. Let it sit for a bit to allow the flavors to meld.
