Instructions:
Instructions: MARINADE: Combine the marinade ingredients in a sealable plastic bag. Add chicken and seal. Knead to coat the chicken. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

ASPARAGUS: trim spears by snapping each spear and discarding the tough ends. Peel from the center to the stem end. Snap again to shorten spear to fit the tortilla: from 2 to 3 inches shorter than diameter of the tortilla. Steam until almost tender (3 1/2 minutes). Turn off the heat and set aside to continue cooking on store heat.

Meanwhile, heat a FOREMAN GRILL. Reserve the marinade. Grill CHICKEN for 3 minutes. Turn off the machine but do not open. Allow to sit 1 1/2 to 2 minutes; remove to a chopping board; wait 1 1/2 to 2 minutes; dice.

Meanwhile, spray and heat a wok or PEKING PAN; add oil and when warm, add the leek and garlic and a pinch of ground pepper. Saute until soft. Add the rice, bell pepper and slaw mix; fry, stirring, until aromatic and thoroughly heated.

Push the rice mixture away from the center of the pan; add the marinade and lemon juice; stir and cook thoroughly; add asparagus cooking water to dilute, if necessary. Add the smaller pieces of cooked asparagus and the chopped chicken to the pan; stir to coat. Add the mayonnaise and stir first to incorporate the marinade, and then to incorporate the rice mixture. Add more lemon juice or a little of the asparagus cooking water to dilute the sauce. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese.

SERVE: place 2 spears on each warmed tortilla. Top with a portion of the rice-chicken mixture. Sprinkle with fresh herbs (tarragon and cilantro). Serve open-faced. Pass additional cheese and a pepper mill. Wrap at table. Serve hot with fresh fruit and romaine lettuce. VARIATION: add a few drops of Worcestershire sauce to the mayonnaise sauce.

SERVING: 2 wraps per person with salad; 1 wrap per person with soup and a large fruit salad.

TIP - Try Whole Wheat Low Carb Fat Free Tortillas or the Soy flour tortilla from La Tortilla Factory (http://www.latortillafactory.com/fatfree.html)

NOTES : REVIEW - Not truly a caesar dressing because we omitted anchovies or Worcestershire. But the mustard mayonnaise with lemon went wonderfully with the chicken rice and a salad of oranges and almonds. We found tortillas at a supermarket in the open coolers near the cheese. 2002/04/26
