When you really break it down, most of us want the same options for dinner. Affordable, tasty, and most importantly… quick and easy. I’d argue that 95% of the population would defer to the faster recipes over the complicated ones, especially after a long day's work.

In the spirit of that, I came up with this incredible wrap. Inspired by my sister and her love of the flavor combo that is buffalo and Caesar, I just took it a step further.

But I wanted to do this as a speedy, weeknight dinner. A little indulgence that you can throw together in 10 minutes for you and the whole family without spending a ton of money. To do that, we utilize some pre-made options, and this is a very good method to employ if you are aiming to both save and expedite the dinner process.

The next time you’re at the grocery store, pay attention to some of the pre-made options. They are constantly running deals on their chicken tenders, rotisserie chickens, fried chicken, etc… You can take advantage of all of those options by using the pre-made stuff, combining it with fresh ingredients, and completely reimagining the entire meal.

The more comfortable you get in the kitchen and with flavor pairings, the more you will be able to riff on things like this. I know it seems silly to emphasize utility when talking about pre-cooked chicken, but it's a valid point. So once again, I urge you to try some new things in the kitchen!

What better way to do that than with these bold and beautiful flavors?
