Paleo Chicken and Avocado Lettuce Wraps

With cilantro, avocados, lime, and green onions, this chicken wrap lunch idea already has a lot going for it, but the savory cashew cream really ups the envy quotient!

Tuna and Hummus Wraps

If you love tuna salad but feel a bit "meh" about mayo, swap in hummus. It adds great flavor and nutritional value to this tortilla wrap idea for lunch—or dinner.
