Santa Fe Salad

What you need:

2 cups Romaine Lettuce

1/4 cup Shredded Carrots

1/4 cup Avocado or Guacamole 

1/4 cup canned Corn

1/4 cup Black Beans, drained

3 oz Chicken breast

1/4 cup Shredded Cheese (I like cheddar)

2 tbsp tortilla strips

2 tbsp Hidden Valley Lite Ranch

For the chicken:
I use Tysons Grill an Ready chicken breasts for salads. For this salad I sprinkled a little bit of taco seasoning on it while it was heating with a little bit of water, as well.

Just assemble!

To make ahead:

Add lettuce, carrots, guac, corn, beans, cheese and chicken breast into a container until ready to eat. I like to sprinkle a little bit of lime on top as well. When ready, add dressing and tortilla strips. 

(Try mixing the avocado or guac into the dressing first, it's realllly good!)

Tuna Salad with Avocado

A great light but filling lunch. 

What you need:

Tuna, canned, drained

1/2 of an Avocado

1/4 cup onion

1 tablespoon lime juice

Garlic powder salt and pepper to taste.

I added in some Mediterranean yogurt dressing in it for some kick. If you'd like to try it click HERE.

Assemble!

I ate this with some sweet potato chips (Simple Truth brand) and an orange.

Chicken Salad and Black Bean Wrap

This is a high fat, high protein lunch. It's very filling and great for some extra fuel in the day.

What you need:

Chicken breast (I used some leftover rotisserie chicken)

Avocado

Black Beans

Braum's Jalapeno Dip (or lite ranch)

Tumero's Low Carb Tortilla

Boil the black beans. While it is cooking:

Cut or shred your chicken. Mix in a little less of half an avocado. About 75% of the half. 

Mix in your dip/dressing.

Place onto tortilla and when beans are ready spread over chicken salad.

This could also be good with some onions or peppers. Be creative!

This lunch was high in calories because of all the fats, BUT!, it is worth it because they are very healthy fats, high in protein and fiber.

This lunch was:

401 calories, 31g Carbs (11 from the tortilla, but the rest are healthy carbs), 21g Fat, 31g Protein, 16g of Fiber

I hope you enjoy!
