Chicken wraps - healthy fast food part 1

I'm a sucker for fast food! I love anything with melted cheese, loads of bacon, 17 different kinds of dressing slabbed on or between some sort of eatable vehicle, preferably consisting of some white bread. Burgers, hotdogs, pizza, sandwiches - you name it, I'll stuff it down my throat with great pleasure! But that's not what this blog is about! The term healthy fast food, reminds me of some sort of not very interesting recipe consisting mainly of lentils and broccoli, found in one of my girlfriends magazines. But fast food has to taste fatty and it has to taste good! Nobody would be tempted to order a triple-mega-bacon-cheese-burger with Godzilla fries and a huge jug of coke if it wasn't delicious. So taste and the eat-while-lying-in-bed-possibly-with-a-hangover-ability is what we're going for here!

One of my favorite things to make when I get the inevitable fast food cravings is different kinds of wraps. It's also important to me that the dishes I put in the fast food category, actually is fast to make! The wraps I made today took about 10 minutes to make. Here's what you need:

2 wholewheat tortillas
½ onion
a couple of small tomatoes or 1 big
1 avocado
1 chicken breast
1 small bowl of cottage cheese
1 clove of garlic
a bit of fresh basil, I used some purple basil, but the normal green stuff is fine.
a bit of dried thyme
a bit of lime, lemon or even vinegar just something nice and acidic.
Salt & pepper

Cut the chicken in to bite size pieces and throw it on the pan and sprinkle with the thyme, season with salt and pepper fry until done and take of the heat. Chop the vegetables, remember to chop the onion fine, nobody likes big, horrible chunks of onion. Chop your basil and mix with the cottage cheese season with salt and pepper and add your lime (or whatever) to taste. Warm your tortillas in the oven til soft and remember to get them out before they turn crispy - or simply nuke them. Place your filling on the tortillas and roll them up anyway you like. Turn on your TV and enjoy while lying on your couch.

This is great because the avocado and the cottage cheese provides the fatty flavor, while also giving it the kind of greasy feel, that you normally crave Sunday morning. Some of the ingredients like avocado and cottage cheese can be a bit hard to find i Thailand, but if you can't find some of the ingredients substitute it with something else. Cooking is all about being creative!
