Instructions
- Prepare chicken: Turn grill to medium-high or use oiled cast iron skillet on stovetop. Pound out chicken breast so it’s flat and even – removing extra fat if needed. Sprinkle with spices and salt on both sides. Cook chicken breasts for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature has reached 165ºF. Transfer chicken to a plate and top with cheese slices while warm.
- Make loaded guacamole: In a large bowl, mash avocado until chunky. Add in black beans, corn, diced tomato, onion, cilantro, minced garlic; stir gently once or twice then add lime juice and salt, stirring again until combined.
- Assemble wraps, sandwiches, salads or burrito bowls as desired – enjoy!
