Mango Avocado Kale Wrap

Avocado has a magic ability to liven up anything from tacos to toast, but this new combo might just become your salad of choice for the summer. The combo of avocado + feta cheese + chickpeas is both savory + creamy — making it an especially great addition to sandwiches. This recipe is all about ditching the traditional wrap + instead opting for leafy greens.

INGREDIENTS

1 Avocado
1 cup Chickpeas, rinsed + drained
3 oz Feta Cheese
1 Lime, juiced
¼ cup Cilantro, chopped
1 Mango, sliced
1 bunch Leafy Green [Kale or Collard Greens]
Salt to taste
For the Chicken:
1 lb Chicken Breasts
1 Lime, juiced
¼ cup Cilantro, chopped

DIRECTIONS

#1] Chop the cilantro + juice a lime into a large bowl. Add the chicken breasts, toss to coat + let sit in the marinade for ten minutes. Remove the chicken breasts + grill or sauté [about 5 mins per side] or until cooked through. Set the chicken aside to rest before slicing so it stays juicy!
#2] Chop the cilantro + avocado + combine in a medium sized bowl. Juice a lime into the bowl + stir gently, without mashing the avocado. Make sure all the diced avocado bits are coated in lime juice or it’ll turn from a lovely green color into brown!
#3] Add the chickpeas + feta cheese to the bowl + gently stir once more. Try not to eat the entire bowlful ; )
#4] Grab a knife + cut a mango into thin slices, making sure to remove the skin.
#5] Grab your leafy greens! If you are using collard greens, one large leaf works great. If you opt for kale, like I did, go for two or three leaves. Lay your greens out on a cutting board + layer on some chicken. If you’re using large chicken breasts, slicing them will make rolling the wrap easier! Add a spoonful or two of the avocado mixture + top with a couple slices of mango. It may seem tempting to really load-up your wrap, but over-stuffing it will make rolling into quite a messy process. I recommend making two small wraps instead of one large one + you get an added nutritional bonus from extra leafy greens!
#6] Roll it up! If taking your wrap to-go, rolling it in parchment paper or aluminum foil + it’ll be the perfect meal on the go! Eat up!
