Menu Plan Monday: Mexican Lettuce Wraps! {great for summer!}

Let me say that last week’s Kung Pao Chicken was awesome!  I ended up altering the recipe a bit to add veggies (mushrooms, red bell pepper, and snow peas), and we loved them all.  I also stir-fried the peppers and set them aside so Josh could enjoy the Pao punch and the rest of us could eat without crying.

• Monday: Arby’s Sandwiches, fries
• Tuesday: Taco Salad
• Wednesday: Roast Chicken with Cumin from Becky, corn on the cob, chips & salsa
• Thursday: Left-Overs
• Friday: Green Curry Chicken, brown basmati rice
• Saturday: Left-Overs
• Sunday: Mexican Lettuce Wraps (great summer dish!), more chips & salsa

Mexican Lettuce Wraps

Mexican lettuce wraps, guac, corn, and pineapple

• 1-2 c cooked, diced chicken breast (can use Rotisserie chicken)
• 2 ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 1/2 c sliced and diced red onion
• 2-3 slices pickled jalapeno, diced
• 1 bunch of chopped coriander {aka cilantro}
• 1/3 c white vinegar
• 1 t salt
• 1 t veg oil
• 1/2 t pepper
• 1-2 avocados, peeled, sliced, and diced
• 6 leaves of iceberg or butter leaf lettuce

Toss everything but avocado and lettuce.  Add avocado just before eating/serving.  Spoon mixture into a lettuce leaf and serve as lettuce wraps.  Great with chips and fresh salsa!
