Chicken Avocado Wraps and Copycat Chipotle Cilantro Lime Rice

Yet again, I've slacked on my blogging. The entire start to 2015 has been a whirlwind of holidays, birthday parties, events, work, trying to maintain sanity etc. The past several weeks especially I have not been cooking incredibly lavish or creative meals.

Most of our dinners have included a protein basic (mostly chicken or baked fish) with a quick fix veggie and starch. We've thrown in the taco and spaghetti go-to's here and there, but truthfully, I haven't been feeling very adventurous in the kitchen.

I did however create a delish dinner a few nights ago that was a huge hit. Best of all, I may have discovered an alternative to Chipotle's delicious cilantro-lime rice. Although it's not exactly the same, it's pretty darn close!

So here's what I did:

I boiled up 2 large chicken breasts and chopped them finely. (I should probably mention that I settled on this meal option when I realized that 2 frozen chicken breasts were the last bit of meat in our entire house...alas, this was a very healthy meal that didn't cost a whole lot of money to make. Two gold stars for budget friendly and tasty!)

While the chicken was boiling, I put together the cilantro-lime rice. I just made quick-fix rice (~1-2 cups) and added a dash of garlic salt, 2-3 drops of doTERRA's Lime essential oil and some really great organic cilantro paste that I picked up from the grocery store:

I prepped the chopped chicken similarly - dash of garlic salt, teaspoon of cilantro paste, and 2 drops of lime essential oil. I also added about 1/2 of a small onion, finely chopped and mixed in the rice:

Prepare the burritos with a hefty scoop of chicken mixture, chunky-chopped avocado, and top with shredded cheese. Fold the tortilla closed and grill on medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

I served ours with more of that delicious rice and some black beans. Dinner success for no more than $8 max to feed our entire family. Win. Win.
