Cajun Chicken Melt

1 Flax wheat Rollup
1 leftover grilled cajun-style chicken cutlet, sliced
a couple of squeezes of liquid Cheeze Whiz

I had some leftover chicken cutlets that I used for this. I bought Emeril's Essence seasoning, sprinkled it on my cutlets, and grilled them.

Preheat your GT Xpress. Put ingredients onto the wrap. Tuck in sides and roll up into a burrito form. Cook 5-7 min. until warm and melty.

Happy Dog in a Blanket

1 Flax wheat Rollup
1 leftover hotdog
a spoon or two of leftover sauerkraut
a couple of squirts of mustard
1 couple of squirts of liquid Cheez Whiz Squeeze
leftover onions in special sauce

Preheat your GT Xpress. Put all ingredients into your wrap. You can add the onions if you want. I didn't. I heated them up and served onions on the side as a dipping sauce. Tuck in sides and roll up. Cook 7-10 min. until hot inside. (see photo)

Sesame Chicken Wrap

This recipe is great for Chinese leftovers!

leftover Sesame Chicken, 4-5 chunks
leftover Fried Rice, a couple of spoonfuls
green onions or chives, 1 tbsp.
broccoli cole slaw (comes in a bag in the produce section), one palmful
Ken's Lite Asian Sesame Salad Dressing, 1 tbsp.
1 flour tortilla

Prepare your slaw by combining slaw with dressing & onions. Let sit while preheating your GT Xpress. Heat tortilla in microwave for 15 sec. so that it's easier to roll. Add a couple of spoonfuls of slaw on top. Top with chicken & rice. Tuck in sides and roll up, and put into well. Cook 5 min., just until filling is heated through. (see photo)

Taco Lasagna

2 hard taco shells, cracked down the middle (just press down on the taco and the shell should split down the middle perfectly)
refried beans
salsa
shredded cheddar cheese
black olives, chopped
a sprinkle of chopped jarred jalapeno or chopped green chiles
cheeze wiz
a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onion/scallion
white meat chicken (from a roaster chicken or rotisseree chicken)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Assemble lasagna like so: shell, spread beans on the shell, top with a dab of salsa, shredded cheese, black olives, jalapeno, a spoon of cheeze wiz, chives/onion, shredded chicken. Place another shell on top and repeat. The top shell should not be spread with beans or any topping, so that when you close the lid it doesn't make a mess. Put into well. Cook 5-7 min. until warm and melty. Top with a dollop of sour cream & more salsa. Wear a bib! This is really messy! But yummy!

Chicken & Bean Burrito

a sprinkle of chopped chives or green onion/scallion
a handful of white meat chicken (from a roaster chicken or rotisseree chicken)

Preheat your GT Xpress. Microwave tortilla for 15 sec. so it is easier to roll. Assemble burrito. Tuck in sides and roll up carefully. Put into well. Cook 5-7 min. until warm and melty. Top with a dollop of sour cream & more salsa.

Bacon, Egg, & Cheese Bagel Scramble

1 egg, scrambled
1 slice cheese, folded in half
2 slices pre-cooked bacon
1 Western Bagel (or any small bagel), split

Preheat your GT Express. Scramble an egg in a small bowl. Toast bagel in toaster. When bagel is toasted squeeze it slightly to create an oval shape, so that it will fit into one well of the GT Express. Spray wells lightly with cooking spray. Push bagel bottom in to fit into the well. Top with bacon, then cheese. Carefully pour the egg on top of the bagel, being careful not to drip the egg over the side. You want to pour it slowly. It's okay that the egg drips off the sandwich into the well. You'll see. Put the other half of your bagel on top, and close the lid. Cook about 5 min. I keep peaking in after 4 min. to see when the egg looks cooked. As soon as egg looks solid and cooked, put it on your plate and let stand 1 min. before eating because it will be very hot.
