Grilled Tex-Mex Chicken and Qunioa Wraps-4

This morning I woke up to a good foot of the white stuff. Yeah, snow. It is miserable and that’s all I am going to say about it because I am not going to complain to you guys anymore about all the snow.

Instead let’s talk about your weekend. We never do that. It’s always me, me, food, me and some more food.

Someone please tell me they enjoyed some beautiful spring weather, maybe did some grilling or Banana Bread making or gosh maybe you even went all out and made some killer Grilled Buffalo Shrimp Sandwiches.  Oh, I wish we still had those leftovers sitting in the fridge.

Or maybe you just had a super lazy weekend and watched the Masters or better yet maybe you watched some heavy drama TV show.

Honestly, watching golf is so unappealing to me. I CAN’T do it. I want to scratch my eyes out. Plus, I am all about the drama. Fill me in. What are the good shows these days? I feel like I have not watch TV in forever. My last favorite show was Gilmore Girls and I think that ended like six years ago.

Yeah, I don’t watch a whole lot of TV. It’s bad.

Tex Mex Chicken and Quinoa WrapsOh and yeah, I was a total Gilmore Girls fan. Love that show, still do.

I watch reruns when ever I can.

It’s pretty pathetic.

Or really lets talk wraps. Cause wraps are good.

Especially when they’re grilled. Like on the grill. It’s awesome.

Plus, there’s Tex-Mex grilled chicken, quinoa, the most amazing sweet and spicy Tex Mex dipping sauce, red peppers, spinach, avocado, cheddar cheese and cilantro. Then your gonna want to smother the whole thing in the sauce. The sauce is good. The chicken is good. Geez, the whole wrap is good.

Oh and guys, I can not stop with the avocados. I am pretty much going through at least one a day. At least. Probably two. It’s getting ridiculous.
