Dinner Idea

I was crammed for time last week after work and needed a quick and easy dinner - and it had to be dairy free - so I came up with this.

Mexican Chicken Lettuce Wraps

• One Rotisserie Chicken
• One can of pinto beans, mostly drained (do not rinse)
• One package of Uncle Ben's brown rice 90 second microwave packet
• Your favorite salsa or picante
• One package of Bib Lettuce

Heat about a tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet while shredding half of the chicken.  Add the meat to the skillet and heat through for a few minutes.  Heat the rice in the microwave.  Add the can of beans and heat for another minute or two.   I added a little pepper and season salt at this point.  Add the rice and about a 1/3 cup of salsa/picante.  Stir to mix thoroughly and heat through.

Wash the lettuce leaves and keep in tact.  Serve by allowing each person to fill his/her own lettuce leaf with the chicken mixture.  Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or more salsa/picante. 

My husband and I ate our fill of this and still had enough leftovers to make a dinner for me the next evening.  K-man didn't touch the stuff.  *sigh*
