Chipotle Chicken Rolls with Avocado Dipping Sauce

Food photography is a funny thing. Like all photography, good lighting is probably the most important thing. However, I find with food sometimes a delicious meal can look just blah and vice versa.

This recipe comes from Rachael Ray’s 365: No Repeats, which is, in fact, enough different recipes for an entire year. I’d been wanting to make this particular recipe because I already had phyllo dough in the freezer for the wraps, and it includes avocado. I am very into avocado right now.

Anyway, back to food photography. Doesn’t this look nice?

Chipotle Chicken Rolls with Avocado Dipping Sauce

The funny thing is, while I thought the meal was alright, it photographed much better than it looked in real life. I thought the rolls looked a little pale and kind of sloppy. The avocado sauce was good, but it called for way too much lime juice. We ate these cold the next night at the baseball game, and they were fine that way, too.
