    You can pre-make these and store in the fridge, to grab later for an “anytime” meal, on-the-go fast food, or a late night dinner.

    I was delighted to find Perdue chicken nuggets in the reduced meat section of our local store.  It didn’t matter that they were shaped like “cars.” My teens didn’t mind at all!

    The lettuce in this reduced package was colorful, convenient, and inexpensive.

      I twisted this recipe a bit but either way it was great. I used the Perdue grilled italian chicken and shredded cheese and iceberg lettuce (only because it was all that I had) but it came out wonderful and I would definitely not have even thought about trying to make my own wraps if it weren’t for this recipe. Thanks a lot 🙂 I suck at wrapping them, though haha
