Avocado Salad with a Crunch

Ingredients:
2 large ripe avocados - diced
2 large ripe tomatoes - diced 
1/2 cup olives - roughly chopped (I used greek olives - they were not pitted and a huge pain in the butt. Next time i will probably use green olives or you can omit)
1 cup canned chick peas (garbanzo beans) - drained and rinsed
2 TBSP flat leaf parsley - roughly chopped or torn
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper to taste
blue corn tortilla chips

Gently toss everything but the chips in a bowl. Serve with chips crumbled on top!

1/2 yellow onion - diced

1/2 cup water 
6 whole wheat flour tortillas or 12 corn tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
1 large tomato - chopped
*3 green onions - chopped (optional) 

Preheat oven to 350 .

Heat oil in a large pan over medium heat. Saute garlic, onions and pepper until mostly tender. Add spinach and wilt 3-4 minutes. 

Remove from heat and mix in shredded chicken and green chilies. 

Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix together yogurt, Southwest Seasoning, lime juice and water.  Pour half the  sauce into the chicken mix.

Fill the whole wheat tortillas evenly (if using corn tortillas, slightly overlap 2 and then fill so they reach the edges of the pan), roll and place seam side down in a lightly greased casserole dish. 

Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is slightly browned. Top with chopped tomatoes and *green onions.
