QUINOA GUACAMOLE CHICKEN WRAPS



Quinoa Guacamole Chicken Wraps image

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ sweet onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 cup quinoa
1 lime, juiced
1 ¾ cups chicken stock, or as needed
6 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
6 grape tomatoes, quartered
1 avocado, cubed
1 jalapeno pepper, diced

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.
