Mexican Lettuce Wraps
Nothing like a light summery meal to make you feel good! I love lettuce wraps, but have only ever had Asian ones (which I crave....frequently:) I ADORE mexican flavors more than anything, and so I knew this would be right up my ally. I thought they were great, again the hubby thought they weren't that filling. Next time he gets to eat them on tortillas! Also, I didn't think the Boston lettuce gave me the nice crunch I was looking for, so next time I will use iceberg or romaine.
1/4 cup finely chopped sweet red pepper (about 1/4 a pepper)
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium ripe avocado, peeled and finely chopped
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
12 Bibb or Boston lettuce leaves (next time I will use romaine or iceberg)
In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Refrigerate until serving.
Just before serving, stir in avocado. Place 1/2 cup chicken mixture on each lettuce leaf; top each with 2 teaspoons sour cream. Fold lettuce over filling.
