Easy Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Some days just call for a dinner that is on the lighter more refreshing side. Lettuce wraps lighten up any main dish and can be filled with a variety of fresh ingredients.

With a few avocados and some chicken on hand, I threw together a mixture for some lettuce wraps that turned out to be nothing short of amazing. The blend of Southwestern spices gives this a wonderful burst of flavor.

Rotisserie Chicken Lettuce Wraps

The recipe is simple and only takes a few minutes. It is easily made by grilling up a chicken breast or using leftovers from a rotisserie chicken.

You could even pan-sear a chicken breast with just salt and pepper. While the chicken is cooking, throw the corn, black beans, and avocados together in a bowl.

The spice mixture is super simple and uses pantry staples. Mix the spices and a bit of lime juice. The fresh lime juice brightens up all the flavors.

Mexican Lettuce Wraps

Combine chicken corn, black beans, avocado, onion, chili powder, cumin, and garlic in a medium bowl. Stir in lemon juice. Toss with chicken.

Separate the lettuce leaves, wash, and pat dry. Spoon the chicken mixture into the lettuce leaves and serve.
