I’m pretty sure I reached a new personal record for amount of chips and salsa eaten in one night. It did not make for a fun run the next morning.

Despite eating a ridiculous amount of food on Cinco de Mayo, it was such a fun night. We hosted a party at our house and the weather even cooperated and we were able to enjoy our new outdoor furniture.

I was a little worried earlier in the week because it was raining so much and even snowed a little. Luckily all the gross weather cleared out Thursday night and by Saturday we were back up in the 70’s, party perfection!

Of course having a margarita before everyone showed up may have helped with the stress part.

To counteract all the carbs I consumed over the weekend, I’m cutting back on them (at least for today) and making these Mango, Avocado, Chicken Lettuce Wraps for dinner tonight. They’re full of protein, healthy fat, sweetness from the mango and dressed in a light chili lime vinaigrette.

A light citrusy vinaigrette seemed much more appropriate for a chicken filling that also used mango. Not to mention the avocado adds a nice creamy texture.

I served these Mango, Avocado, Chicken Lettuce Wraps in butter lettuce, which is my favorite to use when I make any kind of lettuce wrap. I know some people like romaine, but let’s all just steer clear of it until this E. Coli outbreak clears up.

These wraps make a great lunch or easy dinner. Enjoy!
