Tonight I wanted a portable dinner we could eat outside.  The boys asked for a dinner on the deck after being cooped up inside today due to the humidity and the storms I thought, why not?  

I started out with this beautiful spread :

The cucumber and zucchini came from my Springdell seedlings in my garden and the rest was from our share.  I knew I wanted to wrap these veggies so I did a bit of chopping…

Notice I did not cut things into rounds, I find that longer pieces work better for wraps.  I needed to cook up a bunch of theses veggies so I divided them by cook times, the carrots and peppers went in first.

When those softened I added the zucchini and summer squash to the party.

I knew the weather was going to be tough this afternoon so I grilled my bone in, skin on whole chicken legs this morning.  I cooled them and took the meat off the bone so it would be ready for tonight.  So, to assemble the wraps I started with some fresh mozzarella, cucumber, basil, and shredded chicken.

I then added the warm veggies

Wrap that up in whatever wrap of your choosing and you have a great summer meal!

I have yet to find a gluten free wrap that I like, if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them!  This is what the gluten free version looked like tonight in the Buck house.  Enjoy!
