Chicken Guacamole Wraps

As summertime approaches, I'm always excited for lighter, fresher meals. After a winter like we had, it feels good to break away from soups, casseroles and those comfort foods that taste so good when you're cold and it's snowy outside and move to salads, wraps and grilled meals. I made this the other night and it was so good. My kids are guacamole lovers and they gobbled these up. You can add all sorts of veggies to these - whatever you like. Tomatoes, sliced red onion, lettuce, cucumbers, extra slices of avocado. A nice light side would be pasta salad, fruit salad, maybe even some homemade sweet potato chips!

Chicken Guacamole Wraps

3-4 Chicken breasts
Olive Oil
Salt and pepper
2-3 Avocados
Lime
Cilantro, Chopped (about a TBSP)
1 clove Garlic, minced
Romaine lettuce
Spinach Wraps (I found these near the deli section next to the other sandwich wraps)

Preheat oven to 350. Place chicken on cookie sheet and drizzle both sides with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for around 30 minutes. Cool for a few minutes and then shred meat.

Prepare guacamole by scooping avocado out of the skin and removing the pit. Place into a bowl with cilantro, garlic, salt and pepper to taste and the juice (and zest if desired) from 1 lime. Use a fork to mash until smooth and ingredients are combined.

Take spinach wrap and spread guacamole on one side, add some shredded chicken, lettuce and other veggies, roll up and serve.
