{Tropical Lettuce Wraps}


Yield: serves 4-6
Time: 30 minutes

Lettuce leaves (butter, romaine, cabbage, chard)
chicken, cooked (rotisserie, grilled, baked, whatever is good)
3/4 c quinoa, cooked
2 small mangos, diced
1-2 avocados, diced
1/4 c cilantro, chopped
GF hot sauce or chili sauce

Dressing:

2 limes, juiced
2 Tbls EVOO
2 Tbls red wine vinegar (or raspberry vinegar)
4 tsp raw honey
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt

Dressing: Whisk all ingredients together, set aside.

Once your quinoa is cooked, lightly drizzle a little bit of the dressing over the hot quinoa to allow it to soak up the flavors.  Add more dressing to desired 'wetness'. Add in mango, avocado and cilantro, give a quick toss.

In your lettuce leaf, layer your chicken topped with the quinoa mix and top with hot sauce.

Complete Meal Idea: Serve with fresh hummus and veggies.
