QUINOA GUACAMOLE CHICKEN WRAPS
So, I got home from the gym one day and thought, I want to eat something healthy. Red quinoa ? Check. Then I thought, I want it to taste really good. Avocado, red onion, cherry tomato, olive oil? Check. I added a little bit of balsamic vinegar to the quinoa and then mixed it in with the guacamole, and the combination turned into this texture-rich, super flavorful, smooth paste that was so delicious I didn't want it to end. I thought, man, this would be great in a wrap! So I added in some lean white chicken breast and low carbohydrate wraps, and was hooked.

Steps:
- After slicing the chicken breasts into thin cutlets, cook over medium heat until golden brown and set aside.
- Cook the quinoa at the same time by boiling water and simmering, covered, for about 15 minutes.
- Prep the veggies by quartering the cherry tomatoes, chopping the onions, cleaning out the avocado.
- Make the guacamole by mixing the salt, avocado, onions, and cherry tomatoes.
- When the quinoa is done, add it into the guacamole and add in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar, to taste.
- Spread the quinoa guacamole mixture onto your wraps, add in the chicken and some arugula and enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic in the hot oil until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir quinoa into onion mixture and cook until quinoa is lightly browned, about 30 seconds.
- Squeeze lime juice into a 2-cup measuring cup; pour in enough chicken stock to make 2 cups liquid. Pour chicken stock mixture over quinoa and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover saucepan, and simmer until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and chill in the refrigerator, about 1 hour.
- Fold cilantro, tomatoes, avocado, and jalapeno pepper into quinoa mixture. Return quinoa to refrigerator for flavors to blend or serve immediately.
