Creamy Chicken Wraps and Black Bean Salad with Fried Avocados

         The other day while scrolling through Pinterest, I saw a recipe for fried avocados.  I thought this was the coolest idea and couldn't believe I hadn't seen it sooner, so I decided to made them to go with lunch.  However, they are clearly a garnish so I had to find something to go with them.  While I continued scrolling through Pinterest, I found a recipe for chicken wraps, Perfect!  I decided that the meal needed something to tie it together.  Because there really wasn't much color or veggies, I thought about a three bean salad my mom used to make so I did kind of the same thing only with black beans.  This is what the finished product turned out to be:
