Chicken-Bacon Wraps (with Hummus)

One fun part of having a baby where I'm from is people bring food. Lots of food. And it's always so fun trying other people's recipes! This recipe went over very, very well with my taste-buds. So well, in fact, that I had to get the recipe. Thank you, Sarah T.! 

But...I have this problem. I really can never follow a recipe to the letter. Ever. I always have to add more..or less...or put in my own thing. Well, this recipe I pretty much stuck true to recipe and it was just as delish as when she made it for me. Yum! Oh, and yes, I used full on fat pig bacon. I don't do that turkey bacon stuff. And I used mayo. Real mayo. But mostly because I had just finished a work out and what good is working out of you can't have like, bacon and stuff after? Or ice cream..but that's another story. =) 

Next time I make these, I will be adding avocado.

Chicken Bacon Wraps

1/2 c. mayonnaise
5 green onions, chopped
2 tsp. lemon juice
4 whole wheat tortillas
2 c. shredded romaine lettuce
2 c. chopped tomato
4 pieces extra crispy bacon
2 c. shredded chicken (I used my leftover teriyaki chicken)

Combine mayo, green onions and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Spread evenly on the four tortillas. Top each with romaine, tomato, bacon and chicken. Roll up and seriously enjoy!!

These days, I love hummus. I go through my phases and right now, I'm in a hummus and pita chip phase. But I like to make my own hummus. I like mine with skads of garlic and pepper. And lemon juice. So store bought stuff really just doesn't cut it for me. This recipe is my favorite. I eat it all day long. Is that a bad thing? 

Hummus

1 16 oz can of chickpeas  (garbanzo beans)
1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini (optional but in my opinion necessary)
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp pepper (or more!)
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation:

Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid from can. Combine remaining ingredients in blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup of liquid from chickpeas. Blend until thoroughly mixed and smooth.Serve with pita chips. (I like Stacys)
