Tandoori Ranch Chicken Wraps
Here is my second recipe for the Hidden Valley Ranch recipe competition. This time I used Hidden Valley Ranch as part of the marinade for the tandoori chicken. Typically, when making tandoori chicken, the meat is marinated in a mixture of tandoori spices and yogurt. I substituted the yogurt for Hidden Valley Original Ranch and it worked out great. The chicken has a great flavor and is balanced with the fresh tomatoes and lettuce in the wrap.

- Remove chicken from the skewers.
- Assemble the wraps by placing 1 or 2 lettuce leaves, meat from one skewer, 2 to 3 tablespoons of the tomato mixture and some of the remaining Hidden Valley Ranch in each wrap.
