[Lettuce] Wraps Done Right

Rotisserie chicken is tasty and cheap. Throw together some sides and you have a quick meal with minimal effort. The only problem is that after two meals I'm sick of it. For those of you with a multi-person household, this may not be an issue. But some of you may be like me, a sexy single stuck with half a chicken! So I decided to spice up and repurpose this lesser half.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil
  • 2 cups of rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 tablespoons of reduced sodium taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • 1 can of black beans, rinsed
  • 1 ear of fresh corn (OR) 1 cup of frozen corn
  • 10 Romaine lettuce leaves, rinsed separated
  • 1/2 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grape tomatos, sliced
  • 1/2 cup shredded reduced fat cheddar cheese.

Optional garnishes: Cilantro, Avocado, Guacamole, Fat-Free Sour Cream.

Directions

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, taco seasoning and water to the skillet, stir and cook for 2 minutes. Add black beans and corn to the mixture, stir, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and spoon mixture over lettuce leaves. Top with red onion, tomatoes and cheese. Garnish with sour cream, cilantro and avocado. Happy Eating!!
