Chicken Egg Wrap...a.k.a Burrito

Chicken Egg Wrap...For the lack of a better title, I named this recipe a chicken egg wrap. You can call it a burrito or whatever you choose...really, if you come up with a better title let me know:)! I actually saw part of this recipe in a Cuisine-at-Home magazine, and I just knew I wanted(had) to try it.

I did change it a bit...the filling in the original recipe was different, it had a lentil /vegetarian filling. And I am sure it would have been delicious, but I had some chicken left over from my Dumpling Soup that I wanted to use. So, I made the filling with ingredients I had on hand. The really neat part about this recipe, is that you can use your favorite filling. Try a bean and cheese, shredded beef, turkey filling, or maybe even a breakfast burrito filling.

But what really got my attention when I saw the recipe, was the tortilla dipped in egg. Never seen that step before. The tortilla is actually dipped in the egg and cooked on both sides... makes the tortilla nice and soft, with a thin layer of omelette all around. Now, why didn't I come up with that?! The tortilla was totally transformed by the egg...amazing. I really didn't know what to expect...I just liked the idea. I mean, really, anything with eggs has got to be good! My husband said the tortilla was sort of like.... a crepe, soft and quite delicious.

I am posting the recipe to the chicken filling, but feel free to omit, change and delete any or all ingredients:)...and make your own. But, I think you will like the tortilla. Plus, it's something different to the usual wraps and such. Hope you enjoy...
