This is my take on a recipe for a grilled chicken wrap with southwestern dipping sauce posted on the Kraft website. I liked the original idea, but made a few changes. I really liked the final result. Oddly, my wife did not. She thought it was a tad bland. I found it to be tasty, crisp, and even better when dipped into the sauce.
Any Chicken Will Do
A lot of recipes like this one for grilled chicken wrap with southwestern dipping sauce call for using chicken breasts. I prefer to use chicken tenderloin, specially when I can find them on sale. They cook quicker and are more tender.
The dipping sauce is good for anything. Veggies. Chips. Wraps.
I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
