And we’re live!
2012′s H-E-B/ ConAgra Meal Maker Challenge has officially kicked off!!
Each week I will share an easy to make recipe using 7 ingredients or less…
featuring the secret ingredient of the week…
that can be made in less than 30 minutes.
The secret ingredient for Week 1 is Egg-Beaters.
/
Considering my kids love wraps, I thought this would be the best way to incorporate Egg Beaters into the mix!
.
.
Recipe for the week… Hearty Tex-Mex Wraps!
.
These are perfect for lunch or dinner. This hearty wrap is packed with flavor and substance.
My kids are generally stuffed once they get through one 1/2 of their wraps!
.
Here’s a look at the 7 ingredients used…

Ready?
Here’s how you make my much loved Hearty Tex-Mex Wraps …
.
- 1½ cups Egg Beaters (Original)
- 1 lb HEB Fajita Seasoned Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast- cubed, popcorn nugget size
- 6-8 large HEB Flour Tortillas
- 1 large Onion -chopped
- 1 large Pepper (I prefer the orange/yellow ones)- chopped. {I include the seeds to add additional spice but this is optional)
- Freshly Ground Pepper for seasoning
- 1 stick HEB salted butter for sauteing
- Grab a skillet/frying pan and saute the onions in ½-1 tbsp of butter (You can add more butter if you’d like. Personally I try to use as little butter as possible to keep it healthy.)
- When this begins to turn golden brown, add the cubed chicken pieces and saute till cooked (Takes about 10-12 minutes)
- While the chicken is being cooked, take a smaller frying pan, add ½ tbsp of butter and scramble the egg beaters in the same.
- Generously season the scrambled eggs with pepper, based on taste (I don’t add salt as we’re using salted butter) and set aside when done.
- When the chicken cubes are close to being done (Approx 9-10 minutes into the cooking process), throw in the peppers and saute till the chicken is well done.
- Once the chicken is cooked, gently mix in the scrambled eggs.
- Now take a flour tortilla and place a generous serving of the chicken-egg mix in the center, ensuring you make tiny folds on either side of the tortilla to keep the stuffing in. (Refer to the photograph)
- Roll the tortilla from North to South and voila, your Hearty Tex Mex Wrap is ready!
.
Enjoy!

Those sound and look pretty good. Never thought to mix eggs with chicken like that but if it works for fried rice, why not in a wrap? Good luck!
