Ingredients

  • 5 strips of bacon
  • 3 large avocados
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 2 chicken breasts* cooked or 2.5 cups of shredded chicken
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp sea salt + more to taste
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro for serving

Instructions

  • Begin by cooking your bacon to your liking. Mine generally takes about 5 minutes per side on Medium-Medium high heat. Drain any excess fat with a paper towel, set aside.
  • Mash up your avocado with a fork in a large bowl. Add lime juice, cumin, and sea salt.
  • Mix in shredded chicken, bacon, pumpkin seeds, and onion.
  • Salt to taste. Serve over greens, in a wrap, or on bread as a sandwich.

Notes

*To cook my chicken, I place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
