Salsa Verde Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Salsa verde chicken lettuce wraps recipe is the perfect healthy weeknight meal or light supper for the hot summer month. Tender Bibb lettuce is stuffed with shredded chicken, salsa verde sauce, avocado and ribbons of purple cabbage.
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup salsa verde sauce*
- 1 head Bibb lettuce
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro
- ½ cup crumbled queso fresco cheese
- Fresh limes cut into wedges
Combine shredded chicken with salsa verde sauce. Add more or less to your preference.
Salsa verde chicken lettuce wraps can be served hot or cold. I prefer to eat them hot, so I heat my chicken meat up in the microwave.
Trim several whole Bibb lettuces leaves from the head of lettuce. Spoon two tablespoons of the salsa verde chicken mixture down the center of each leaf.
Tuck a couple of avocado slices around the chicken. Top with purple cabbage, cilantro and queso fresco cheese.
Drizzle with fresh lime juice. Wrap the lettuce leaf around the filling and enjoy.
