Ingredients

• Chicken tenders – I decided to use chicken tenders for this recipe. They cook quick and go great in wraps.

• Olive oil – I used just a drizzle of olive oil to cook the chicken.
• Avocados – Make sure to choose ripe avocados for this recipe for the best flavour!
• Lettuce – I used pretty small/medium sized lettuce leaves for this recipe. They worked great for appetizer size bites.
• The dressing – I made a homemade chipotle mayo dressing by combining mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle and lime juice. Super easy and you and adjust measurements according to taste.

Instructions

• Cook the chicken – Season the chicken with cajun seasoning and salt and coat really well to make sure it’s completely seasoned. Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the olive oil. Add the chicken tenders and cook for 3-4 minutes, turn the chicken over and cook for another 3 – 4 minutes or until they are fully cooked. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Make the dressing – Make the dressing by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, chipotle sauce and lime juice. Stir well to combine.
• Slice the cooled chicken – Slice the cooled chicken into small pieces and set aside.
• Assemble the lettuce wraps – Lay out all the lettuce leaves. Fill with the sliced chicken and diced avocado. Drizzle over the dressing and serve.

Recipe Tips

• Prep ahead – You can make the chipotle mayo up to two days before and store it in the fridge. You can also make the chicken up to two days ahead and keep it stored in the fridge.
• Use crisp lettuce leaves – For best results, make sure you lettuce is fresh and crisp. they won’t hold well with wilted lettuce.
• Assemble before serving – Put these together just before serving for the freshest taste.

Substitutions

• Chicken tenders – You can use chicken breast no problem. Just remember it will take longer to cook. Alternatively, you could use a precooked Rotisserie Style Chicken shredded up.
• Avocado – If you want to switch it up a bit, you could make guacamole for a similar flavour. You can add chopped tomatoes and peppers as well if you like.
