From the Whole Wheat mission brand tortilla package! Sounded great. So i wanted to save it. Hints: - These colorful tacos contain a number of nutrients that can help to maintain good health including heart healthy lean protein, omega fatty acids and vitamin A. - Reduce the fat content of this recipe by lightening the avocado topping with low fat or fat free ranch dressing. - Use the pre-roasted whole chickens, and shred the meat for ease of preparation. - Use your favorite microwavable chicken nuggets and toss these in hot sauce for ease of preparation. - For another time saving idea; but pre cut celery sticks.

1 cup guacamole, flavored dip
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
