Low Calorie, but not dull on the flavor!!

I love chicken but hate that there are only a couple common ways to use it... pretty soon it gets pretty bland and boring and it makes you wishing for something more.  Tonight I found an amazing recipe and I  just had to share. 

This amazing recipe cured my Mexican fix without me going overboard. Well without further ado:

Black Bean, Avocado & Chicken Wrap

Ingredients:

Servings:

Servings Size

• 
  

• 1/4 avocado, mashed
• 1/4 cup salsa
• 2 ounces roasted chicken breast, chopped (or baked chicken breast)
• 1/4 cup low-sodium canned black bean, rinsed, drained and lightly mashed
• 2 small whole wheat tortillas

Directions:

Prep Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 10 mins

1.  Mix salsa with avocado.
2.  Spread avocado mixture onto center of tortilla from end to end.
3.  Add beans and chicken on top.
4.  Tightly roll up tortilla.

 

I roasted my chicken with a little lime juice and garlic to give it more of an authentic flavor.  Again, this was DELICIOUS!  

Then I paired it with  homemade acorn squash fries. At first I was a little bit of a skeptic... but oh wow.  I will definitely be making these more often.  I didnt cook mine as long as they say.  I just kept checking and pulled them out when they got a little crispy out of fear of them getting burned.

Acorn Squash Fries (Baked)

Ingredients :

1 acorn squash sea salt cooking spray

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Use a vegetable peeler and peel the squash. Cut it in half and scoop out all the seeds. Slice up the squash into 1/2 inch thick-ish slices, Slice them again if you want them in a more fry-style shape.

Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray, put the squash on the pan and sprinkle with the salt.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or till they get a lil browned.

 

With both these recipes my dinner was just a little over 500 calories and I ate 2 of the wraps! If you make this please let me know if you enjoyed it as much as I did!
