Only a few days left and my kiddos go back to school. Seriously, where did the summer go? My daughter will be entering middle school and my liโ€™l guy will be starting kindergarten. Both are very excited to start, I on the other hand am in denial that my babies are growing up.

They have their new school uniforms, bag packs, water bottles, lunch boxes, and as always my daughter has a menu list of recipes sheโ€™d like for me to pack for lunch. She cuts out magazine photos and makes a menu list for me every year (if only I can be that organized).

I have to admit that even though Iโ€™m always developing new recipes I still find myself in a lunch packing rut. Iโ€™m guilty of packing traditional sandwiches, tortas, pitas, quesadillas, burritos, pastas, salads, and soups. My kiddos never complain, but Iโ€™m on a mission this year to plan ahead, pack the night before, and try new creative recipes such as these colorful wraps.

As an ambassador for California Strawberries I thought it would be fun to incorporate strawberries into the main dish. This recipe is a perfect way to use leftover roasted chicken to whip up this chicken salad studded with creamy avocado, sweet strawberries, and crunchy almonds. Wrap it up in a soft spinach tortilla and it’s a healthy lunchbox-friendly meal.
