Mexican Chicken Lettuce Wraps Recipe

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except avocado, sour cream and lettuce.

Step 2

The mixture is good cold (room temperature), but I actually prefer it heated up.  I just put the whole mixture in a pan on the stove over medium-low heat for several minutes right before serving.  I always use the microwave to heat up the leftovers the next day so that works great too!

Step 3

Immediately before serving, stir in avocado.  Scoop 1/2 cup chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf & top with sour cream if desired.

Step 4

I think the mixture is perfect wrapped in lettuce, but the mixture could be used a variety of ways.  It tastes great wrapped in a tortilla, as a dip for chips or even over rice.  Sometimes I just eat it with a spoon and that works too!
