Lettuce Wraps Still Reign Supreme

 

Dear Diary-
I spoke too soon. Brandon has decided that he still prefers the lettuce wraps as his favorite dinner dish. Gabe agrees that the lettuce wraps are 100 times better. So the wraps made another appearance. Gabe has just suggested that I serve the lettuce wraps with shredded chicken and some " sea cucumbers"- what the hell are sea cucumbers? Oh he meant sea scallops...again i was confused... now we nailed it down- he meant water chestnuts. :) heheheh
Ok so next time I will try them with shredded chicken and water chestnuts for my love...until then here is how i make the standard lettuce wraps that the boys so dearly love.
 

Chicken Tenderloins
Limeaid Concentrate ( little tubes of frozen juice )
Jalapeno Pepper
Sour Cream
Canned Chipotle Peppers in Sauce ( find it in the ethnic foods aisle by the taco stuff )
Bibb Lettuce- the hydroponic type is best that comes in the plastic containers
Grape Tomatoes
Avocado
Corn Kernels
Lime
Shredded Mexican Blend Cheese
Cilantro

Marinate the chicken tenderloins with 4 tbs of limeaid concentrate and chopped jalapeno pepper- at least 4 hours
Combine sour cream with 1 -2 tbs of chipotle pepper sauce and let sit- at least 2 hours
Grill or saute chicken tenderloins
Serve on big platter with all the sides
Use lettuce leaves to make a kind of taco out of everything


SOOOOOO GOOD!
