Wraps are one of my favorite sandwiches. So when Terry of Cottage Grove, MN submitted this Versatile Chicken Wrap recipe to the Quick Summer Meals Contest I was doing the happy dance.

Desserts for the Deserving was established in 2011 with the sole purpose of bringing people joy. It is a nonprofit movement where bloggers, bakers, crafters, and all forms of creative people offer up time and resources to bring strangers joy.
The thing is – you don’t have to be a part of this group or any group to give someone joy. You can do it on your own. Do you know someone
