NACHO CHICKEN AND RICE WRAPS (4 WW POINTS)
from aimee's adeventures. UPDATE:JAN 13,2009: Made these and they are pretty good! I would definately suggest to add a small can of green chilis and maybe a dash of red pepper flakes to the cheese mix at the begining! It was a tad bland but still really good! I used one can of the cheese soup and one can of the southwest cheese soup!:)

LAYERED CHICKEN AVOCADO NACHO SALAD
This is a delicious salad, great to serve to company in the summer season (or anytime of the year!) Prepare this salad in a clear glass bowl to show off the colours. Serve with vinaigrette or buttermilk dressing. This salad should be made up to only an hour in advance as the tortilla chips will get soggy, best served as soon as prepared, if you are making this in advance, cover and chill.
