Do you mind if I share an old college fav with you today? It’s not reinventing the wheel or anything but the truth of the matter is that sometimes the meals you eat in your poor college days are some of the best you’ll ever have. I mean, you would not believe all of the ways you can spruce up a bowl of ramen noodles. (Add lemon juice and a bit of cayenne pepper. do it.) This strawberry wrap thing comes from two separate but very similar meals I ate again, and again, and again…… and again x 1000. The main building on campus had a “cafeteria” – in quotes because it was fancier than that lunch lady version you’re imagining right now – and one of my favorite things to order was from a salad and wrap place. They had a wrap called Strawberry Fields. So addicting. And the wraps? HUGE. No really, like HUUUUUUGE. And for a starving student, a ginormous meal for 7 bucks is a dream come true – – – > hello leftovers. Two meals for one? Yes please. That’s the first meal this wrap is based on. When I wasn’t spending as much time in that area of campus, I would run home for dinner and make myself pretty much the exact same thing at home. Strawberries + chicken + feta + spinach + whatever dressing I had in the fridge. I usually skipped the bacon because, well, starving student ya know. (Yet ice cream never failed to make an appearance in my freezer. priorities.) But if you’re not a starving student and have more mature priorities… get yourself some bacon and make these. So fast, so healthy, so dang delicious. Kids like them, picky husbands like them, and just about everybody else with fully functioning taste buds. Strawberry chicken bacon and spinach wraps? After all we’ve been through…. I love you. I really do.
