Lunches — By Ben on 27 March 2008

I was already in a very good mood today before lunch. After eating these delicious chicken wraps I was in an even better mood that I wanted to play a little game with my readers. This is the deal: I will give a small Tupperware prize to the the first person who guesses what the secret ingredient is in these wraps. Please only one comment per person.

I will announce the winner tomorrow before I upload the recipe so make sure to check out this same post tomorrow.

This was so much fun. I must confess that I got the idea of making wraps for lunch from this Madeleine’s post. However, I wanted to make something new and special, and that’s when I turned to this delicious fruit I have been eating little by little this week:

If you think I finally lost it, you are right! That is exactly what crossed my mind when I finished making this avocado and papaya salsa for my wraps.

I used some papaya, one avocado, cilantro, the juice of 2 limes and a pinch of salt. I grilled two chicken breasts…

…put it all together over some lettuce and flour tortillas…

…and voila! I had a chicken wrap with a strange papaya and avocado sauce. But how did it taste? Like a little piece of foodie heaven.

I grew up eating papaya. We always had a bowl of fruit salad in the mornings before leaving home and papaya was almost always the star ingredient in those salads. But I had never thought about a papaya salsa or adding papaya to a savory dish before. Where has my head been all these years? Oh delicious papaya, you have opened a new door to my crazy cooking adventures.

Congratulations Jenn, you were the first one (after just 5 minutes!) to guess the secret ingredient. You have won a small Tupperware prize, a Quick Shake® Container. This was so much fun that I might do it again. It might even be a regular event. Who knows? Yes, I’ve lost my mind. Ha ha!

  18. Who would have thought papaya could be so versatile. I wouldn’t have guessed in 100 years. Sigh…I’m so pedestrian.

  19. Hmmm … I’ll admit that I’m not a huge fan of papaya. There’s something about the smell of it that turns me off … but, if someone were to make me avocado papaya salsa and put it in a yummy chicken wrap, I would likely eat it :-) It looks good!

  20. Congrats Jen

    That salsa looks fab! Great idea!

  21. That chicken and papaya wrap looks really good. I have only had papaya once before. I will have to pick another one up soon.
