These Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps are loaded with chicken, veggies and rice. They are absolutely delicious and healthy!
Happy New Year, friends! I am extremely excited the new year is here. We have a lot of fun plans this year. For one, we put our house up for sale a few days ago, so we’re crossing our fingers it sells fast so we can start building a new one!
We’re vowing to live a healthier lifestyle as well (who isn’t. Ha!) Not only for weight loss but just to feel better and reduce stress. I’ll be feeding my family healthier meals this year, especially during the week. Of course, we’ll be splurging on the weekends. You have to live a little!
I made these amazing Crispy Southwest Chicken Wraps for our new years lunch. Talk about delish! And surprise, surprise they’re healthy too! These flavorful wraps are loaded with chicken, veggies and rice. To make them extra delicious add low fat cheese and sour cream (that’s what we did) and I was in heaven with every bite. If you want to reduce the calories just leave them out. Either way, these babies will be made a lot at our house this year!
