Late Night Zombie Snacks

Let’s face it…teenage boys are never full.  They’re food zombies on a full-time feeding frenzy.

This dish came about as a late-night desperate attempt to feed 6 starving teenage boys that were spending the night at our house.  I had nothing in the house to give them and started looking through the fridge, freezer & pantry.  All I could find was a package of frozen chicken nuggets & some tortilla wraps that I had left over and I almost always have shredded cheese in the house (really!  What doesn’t taste better with cheese melted all over it…well OK not chocolate, but you catch the drift).

Low and behold!  This became the #1 requested item in our house.  We had one of the guys that would pretty much beg for them LOL!  And buy the cheap chicken nuggets for this…they work just as well & won’t break the bank if you’re feeding a bunch of people (particularly teenage boys).

The stuff

• Chicken Nuggets, cooked according to package directions (or reheated Chicken Chunks)
• Small sized tortilla wraps (I prefer flour, but corn tortillas work well, too)
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese or Shredded Mexican  Mix Cheese
• BBQ Sauce
• Honey Mustard

Making it Work

• Pre-heat your oven to 350*
• Place a tortilla on your cutting board
• Pop 2 chicken nuggets on the tortilla lengthwise so they make a line (it’s ok if you have to overlap them a little)
• Place a nice pile of the shredded cheese on top of the chicken
• Squirt some BBQ sauce or Honey Mustard over the cheese…not too much, just enough to taste (this step is optional, you can always just dip them in the sauce if you like)
• Take the 2 ends (at the end of the chicken line) & fold them over
• Holding those ends, wrap the sides over (I just start flipping the wrap over, like wrapping a present)
• Place seam side down on a cookie sheet
• Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, so the cheese has a chance to melt.

Place your Zombie Snacks on a plate & carefully toss it onto the table where the hungry zombies are foaming at the mouth in hunger.  Watch your fingers!!!  Serve with more BBQ & Honey Mustard.  Make enough of these & those zombies might even take the trash out without complaining for once ;o)
