Healthy Recipe #3

I made this weeks ago. It was delicious!!!

Southwestern Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Spicy Chipotle Sauce


1 (8.8 ounce) package microwaveable precooked whole-grain brown rice (ex: Uncle Ben's)
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (I used canned chuck chicken bc I couldn't find the rottisserie chicken. Just mix the chicken around a bunch and it will be "shredded")
3/4 cup fresh salsa
1/3 cup chopped green onion (about 3)
1 (15-ounce) can reduced sodium black beans, rinsed and drained
12 iceberg lettuce leaves

Prepare rice according to package directions. Place rice in a large bowl. Stir in chicken and next 3 ingredients. Spoon chicken mixture evenly in center of lettuce leaves. Fold in edges of leaves: roll up, and secure with toothpicks. Serve with Spicy Chipotle Dipping sauce. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 2 wraps and 2 tablespoons sauce)
