- 1/3 Cup of low fat shredded Mexican 4 cheese blend (divided)
- 1/3 Cup of pre-packaged oven roasted chicken chopped
- 1 tablespoon finely diced green onion
- 2 tablespoons frozen corn kernels
- 2 tablespoons tomato (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (divided)
- 1/2 tablespoon butter
Ingredients
SAUCE
- 1/8-inch thick slice fresh gingerroot, peeled and cut in half
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon chili paste with garlic, or to taste
- 2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

TACOS

- 1/4 cup asparagus pieces, about 1-inch long
- 1/4 cup yellow squash pieces, cut into half circles
- 2 fajita-size (6-inch) flour tortillas
- 2 lime wedges
CHOP ginger and garlic in a small food processor as finely as possible. Add remaining sauce ingredients and process until sauce is completely smooth. If sauce is too thick, add more water, a little at a time. If sauce is too thin, add more peanut butter. Toss about half the sauce with the chicken and put aside in a covered bowl.
BOIL about 1 inch water in large skillet; add asparagus. Cover skillet and turn off heat. In 1-2 minutes, lift off cover and remove asparagus using tongs.
PLACE squash pieces into microwave-safe bowl; add a little water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH about 2-3 minutes. Let cool slightly; carefully drain off water.
MICROWAVE tortillas on HIGH about 15 seconds, or until tortillas are warm and are pliable. Put chicken on tortillas, top with asparagus and squash; drizzle with additional peanut butter sauce. Serve with lime wedges, if desired.

- 2 tablespoons chopped black or red grapes
- 1 tablespoons lite mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons honey
- Iceberg lettuce
Ingredients
CHICKEN MIXTURE
- 2 tablespoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil
- 1 small onion, sliced into rings
- 1/2 red pepper, cut into strips
- 1/2 yellow pepper, cut into strips
- 1 medium apple, cored and sliced into thin wedges
- 4 thin slices cooked chicken breast Or 4 slices deli chicken lunch meat
- 1 hoagie or sub roll
- 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
SAUCE
- 3 tablespoons Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon honey mustard
- 1/2 cup water
HEAT olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, peppers and half of the apple; cook until soft. Add chicken; stir until warm.
HEAT peanut butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, honey and water in small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until creamy and soft.

Ingredients
- 4 slices of wheat bread
- Sandwich Mix:
- 3 tablespoons Jif® Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1 tablespoon finely diced celery
- 1 tablespoon finely diced apple
CHINESE DIPPING SAUCE
- 1/4 cup Jif Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
To make the dipping sauce, combine all ingredients in small saucepan and cook over low heat while stirring with a wire wisk. When the mixture starts to bubble and thicken, remove from heat and let cool.
While the dipping sauce is cooling, roll flat with a rolling pin the four slices of bread. Use a large circle shaped cookie cutter to cut out each slice of bread into a circle. Mix the 3 sandwich mix ingredients together in a small bowl. Place a tablespoon full of mix into the center of each circle shaped piece of bread. Fold the bread in half so the sandwich is now a half circle. Crimp the edges of the sandwich together with your fingers so the mix will not come out. Then, while holding the center of the sandwich, pull the sides of the sandwich down so the edges touch each other, forming a fortune cookie shape.
Cut extra apple and celery slices to eat with the Chinese dipping sauce.
To make fortunes for your fortune cookies, use a clean plastic lid from a tub of butter, yogurt, or sour cream. Cut small plastic strips, then write your fortune on them with a permanent marker. Tuck the edge of the fortune into the edge of your cookies to make them real fortune cookie sandwiches.
Once the dipping sauce is cool, serve the crunchy Chinese cookie sandwiches with their fortunes, and apple and celery slices on a plate with a cup of dipping sauce. Dip the sandwiches and the apple and celery slices into the sauce, and you have a great after school snack that was fun to make and eat!
