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!

GUACAMOLE-STYLE QUINOA
My husband and I are following the guidelines of the Virgin Diet (no gluten, soy, eggs, dairy, peanuts, corn, or sugar) and wanted to experiment with some new ways to eat quinoa. We love guacamole, and decided to transfer the ingredients into this healthy and flavorful quinoa dish.

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.
