Tacos
Turning wraps into tacos is so easy and so worth it! You can just wipe the crumbs out of your pan after, you don’t even have to wash with soap. If you don’t have a rolling pin, use a bottle of balsamic vinegar or wine!

Grilled Spiced Pargiot
Pargiot are dark meat chicken thighs that have no bones or skin. Of all the boneless cuts of chicken, this is by far the juiciest and reheats the best! It also has the most flavor!

Ingredients:
Directions:
  1. Place chicken in dish or ziplock bag
  2. Add all ingredients and mix well so each individual piece is evenly coated (the longer it marinates, the deeper the flavor, but if you grill this right away it will be delicious too!)
  3. Get a grill pan hot, add chicken and cook for 4 minutes per side, slice when finished
Avocado salad
If you were ever a person who bought guacamole already made, you won’t ever again after tasting this salad. You can make this into guacamole if you wish, just by mashing the avocado first and then adding the dressing. Keep the pit with the salad until ready to serve- it will maintain its beautiful green color instead of browning! This salad goes so well with sunnyside up eggs, chips to dip, sandwiches, fish… Make extra but it only will last another day or two in the fridge.
