Mexican Chicken Quinoa Salad Wraps

I made the perfect dejeuner for us. It’second super salubrious, high inward poly peptide, filling, as well as tin go far in advance which is SO crucial for busy people. I absolutely dearest the filling by itself likewise, or on a bed of greens. Incredibly versatile. Plus, yous tin can never become enough Tex-Mex flavors..am I correct?!


Avocado is mandatory, every bit e'er. It doesn’t dark-brown rattling much, even when you go far in advance because of the lime juice! If y'all’re vegetarian, you tin can sub the chicken for more than black beans or quinoa.

This recipe has SO much flavour too TEXTURE. I honey it. It definitely isn’t a #saddesklunch like I know nosotros’ve all had earlier. ?

I am obsessed with these Ezekiel wraps I found at Trader Joe’second. I am a huge fan of their sprouted breads that you tin notice inward the freezer department of almost health foods stores, merely these wraps are a total game changer!
