Yum, yum, yum!

Oh my gosh, this was delicious! I tweaked it a little though. Instead of the beans, I spread some guacamole on. Mmm... Definitely try this. You get protein from the chicken, fiber from the bread, protein from the beans (or healthy fat from guac, like on mine), a low-cal way to spice it up from the salsa and some lovely texture from the lettuce!
