This avocado chicken salad recipe is not only healthy but absolutely delicious too! If you were looking for avocado recipes that are packed with protein and healthy fats, look no further. This is also a great low carb option if you omit the tortilla wrap. While you can definitely use left over rotisserie chicken (which I love to do for chicken salad in general), here I want to use cajun chicken for a burst of flavor and spices.

Just remember because this is an avocado salad based meal, the avocado can easily discolor if you don’t store it the right way. This makes this particular dish difficult to keep for too long in the fridge, but on the bright side it is tasty enough to rarely have left overs. You can also turn this into multi-flavored salad recipes by adding red bell pepper or cilantro to the mix. If you don’t want to use tortilla wraps, you can also get pita pockets for a different construction. When choosing your avocado, you want them to be soft but not over-ripe, which means you’ll have to keep an eye on them every day if you get them at the store unripe. The cajun chicken can actually be cut into strips and stored in your freezer so that you don’t have it just for this recipe, but can use it for a lot of other things too. It’s great as an ingredient for dishes that call for chicken, and making a lot at a time can help cut down on prep time for other things.

By experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my meals on Tumblr, I learned healthy eating is not boring! By making a few adjustments to my favorite foods, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my wellness goals while satisfying my desire for BANGIN food! 😅 Now I try to help people around the world realize that same level of freedom in eating regardless of budget.
