Guacamole Chicken Wraps (Mel)

Any time I cook is reason to blog about because it doesn't happen very much. Tim took my car to work today so I couldn't be distracted with anything else this afternoon, so I begrudgingly got stuff out to get dinner started. I had planned a menu on Monday using recipes from on of the 5 cookbooks I have and tonights meal was Guacamole Chicken Wraps and Refried Bean Soup. So... that's what we did, although Tim took FOREVER to come home from work, so it may have been a little on the cold side when he was eating but mine was nice and hot and delicious. I first thawed two chicken breasts and patted them dry so I could decide what to rub them with. salt and pepper is always nice, but since these were Gaucamole chicken wraps I thought they should have a little southwestern flair. I made a dry rub out of the following:

Paprika (a lot) for good color
cayenne pepper not too much cause I didn't want to burn my lips off
Parsley (because it's the best flippin' seasoning on God's green earth)
onion powder
garlic powder
salt
black pepper

Then I rubbed the (now dried) chicken down with this mixture which I mixed together with a fork and put it in a 400 degree oven for about 15-20 minutes. When it came out, the chicken was juicy and the rub had made a nice crunchy skin on the outside of the chicken.
Then for the guacamole I used:

1 ripe avocado
1 ripe (but not too ripe) tomato
1/2 small white onion
1 small clove minced garlic
1/2 small minced cucumber (wait for it, the reason is coming)
salt
pepper
dash of lime juice

I stirred it all together, but was careful not to mush it up and started to make the soup. For the Refried Bean Soup which, yes sounds pretty lame and kinda gross, but it's not; I used the following ingredients:
1 can of refried beans (duh)
1 can of chicken broth
1/2 small white onion
1 small hand crushed ripe tomato
dash of parsley (seriously I put parsley in everything and my life is better for it)
seasoning to taste

I dumped it all in a saucepan and let it simmer and cook down a little bit and when it was done I topped it with cheese and sour cream and it was DELICIOUS. Try it and tell me it's not. Oh yeah the reason for the cucumber... because I felt like it and it was soooo good. It made the whole guacamole just chill out. Tim loved it too. Which is the reason why we don't have any pictures of it.

So I was talking to my mom yesterday at Sarah's soccer game and we decided that we would like to read easy reads like Fablehaven, and that kind of stuff. Any who objects can write a comment below and we'll decide if we care enough or not to think about your suggestion.
