Fire Roasted Succotash with Grilled Chicken

 

One thing you should know about me is that I hate leftovers.  I get sick of eating the same food over and over again.  I need variety in my daily eating. Well, here’s a little secret…I made this meal two nights in a row and I could probably eat it again tonight.  Coming from me, that says alot.

It is the combination of sweet summery corn, creamy avocado, fire roasted zucchini and red bell peppers in a salty, tangy cilantro lime dressing that really get’s me.  How’s that for a description?  And it is called succotash.  That’s such a great word!

So enjoy. And I hope you make this over and over again.

Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Count me in! Continue reading
