Crispy Chicken Wrap

http://www.melskitchencafe.com/2008/06/crispy-chicken-wraps.html

**To prevent the wraps from unrolling during cooking, be sure to start them seam-side down in step 3.
INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup mayonnaise, light or regular
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 scallions, sliced very thin
2 celery ribs, chopped fine (I omitted these due to my husband’s non-celery preference)
2 tablespoons sour cream, light or regular
2 teaspoons hot sauce (this does not make them spicy but adds great flavor!)
1 rotisserie chicken, skin discarded, meat shredded into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (the sharper the better, in my book)
4 (12-inch) flour tortillas
DIRECTIONS:
Whisk the mayonnaise, cilantro, scallions, celery, sour cream and hot sauce in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to combine. Sprinkle cheese over tortillas, leaving 1/2-inch border around edges, then arrange chicken mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll stuffed tortillas, leaving edges open. Spray the tortillas all over with cooking spray. Heat a large non-stick skillet (or griddle) over medium heat for 1 minute. Arrange 2 wraps, seam-side down, in pan and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining wraps. Serve.

Tomato feta pasta salad

It is Ina's Tomato, Feta Pasta Salad on Food.com
 
I use  the campanelle pasta, because I like the shape, 1 small can of sliced black olives, 1 box cherry tomatoes halved and 6 drained and chopped sundried tomatoes.  I mix these with the Kraft Greek dressing.  (I usually do this part early in the day or the day before.)
 
Then later on I add a package of the crumbled feta, black pepper and more dressing if it needs it.  Just before serving I add and toss 1/2 cup chopped flatleaf parlsey and 1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh grated parmesan into the salad.
 
It is a really easy salad.  I hated the dressing when I made it from scratch and knew it wasn't worth the time or work.
