Southwest Chicken Wraps


ONE FAMILY

3 cups chopped chicken (4 breasts)
1 cup of your favorite Salsa
1 ½ t chili powder
¼ t garlic powder
1 C shredded cheddar
1 14 ½ oz can of black beans
8 flour tortillas
SIX FAMILIES

18 cups chopped chicken (24 breasts, 12 lb)
6 cups of your favorite salsa
3 T chili powder
1 ½ t garlic powder
6 C shredded cheddar
6 14 ½ oz cans of black beans
48 flour tortillas

TO PREPARE FOR FREEZING: Slow cook chicken in crock pot for 5-6 hours or until it reaches shredding consistency. Combine with salsa, chili powder and garlic powder and bag for freezing. Bag cheese and tortillas for freezing and place beans in pantry.

TO PREPARE AFTER FREEZING:
Thaw. Heat chicken mixture on stove over med heat until heated through, about 3 min. Remove from heat, add drained and washed beans and cheese. Serve in warm tortillas and top with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. Tortillas should be allowed to thaw completely and then can be warmed in microwave or on the stove.
Notes: This is extra good with the raw tortilla’s you can buy at Costco.
It is extra frugal if you make your own tortilla! (It’s easy!)

  1. So, I was running late tonight, and my freezer meal inventory was 0…I remembered seeing this and whipped these up! WOW! How simple and delicious. Of course I made extra, but just wanted to say thanks for sharing. YUMMY!!!

  2. ShorterMama says:

    When you put the chicken in the crock-pot do you put it in by itself or with water or something else?

  3. ShorterMama-

    I usually add a little water and some salt/pepper or a mild seasoning. :)

    I am looking for wraps to freeze individually for quick lunches. I assume I could make these and freeze them, and they would thaw out in a few hours in a lunch sack. Has anyone ever done this or do you think it would work? I really need some pre-made lunch items like this to freeze, but I am having a hard time finding them. Any help would be appreciated.
