Spicy Lemon Chicken Wraps

a la Rosie over at The Londoner.  (aka girl crush.)

Can I just say, I dropped $75 at the store this morning picking up food for the week. Okay, for more than the week- a lot of it is cooking accessories (hot sauce, sea salt, cocoa powder... etc), but still. And, okay, I got 8 avocados because, hey, I'm cooking with avocados a lot this week. I need a grocery store scholarship. Or sponsor. To be repaid in delicious foods. I really am a good cook.

Words to the wise:
  • Lemon juice stings cuts. 
  • 80's Pop Pandora station is probably the greatest "radio" station around.
  • Hot sauce stings too.
Okay! On with things. 

I invite you to check out Rosie's post of the recipe as I am too lazy she has already taken the time to make a lovely post. But here's a general idea:

The taste is unlike anything I've had before... You certainly taste the honey, something I'll go easier on next time. I was definitely concerned it would be too spicy- but it wasn't! There were moments of heat, but I loved it.   Now the lemon was the cool part.  It was only after I was done eating that I noticed the hint of citrus hanging around in my mouth. And I do believe it was the best part.



These are your marinate ingredients + olive oil.




Cut chicken into strips + Marinade ingredients + Mix & Cover and place in fridge for a few hours.


Have these bad boys out on the counter. They're going to wait until tonight when it's time to make the guacamole. 

......

Hello again!
It's hours later and I'm halfway through dinner. 
Um, YUM.


Guac got made, per Mom's recipe.


Assembled on a large tortilla, sour cream on the bottom, guac, chicken, and romaine lettuce. 

Wrap and enjoy. 

Quick, easy, light, FILLING dinner. Apart from the morning prep (which I feel could easily be done the night before if the timing is better for you), it's incredibly simple to throw together.  I can see this dish becoming a regular around these parts!
