Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Mango Salsa

Yum

 We are just a few days away from the biggest football game of the year... the Super Bowl!  So, when I was given the opportunity to purchase a bag of Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips and come up with a recipe using them, I decided to make something that would be fun to eat while watching the game.  

I went to the store with my kids yesterday and I think we stood in front of all the bags of Tyson Chicken in the freezer section for about ten minutes.  They had a lot of opinions on what I should get with my coupon.  They wanted to pretty much try everything Tyson carried.

I knew I wanted to eat the chicken strips in a lettuce wrap because I am a bit obsessed with using lettuce wraps with everything these days.  I also knew the chicken had to have the flavor of buffalo wings... it's the Super Bowl after all. 

The next step was to think about a topping to really make the whole dish fun and extra delicious. I decided to go with a sweet, spicy and fresh mango salsa.  

The final dish was so easy to pull together.  While the chicken strips baked in the oven, I quickly cut and diced up my mango salsa.  What a treat, we were enjoying them for lunch in less than 30 minutes. These will be a big hit at the Super Bowl party this weekend for sure.  




Ingredients:
1 bag Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips
Romaine Lettuce as needed (washed and ends cut)
Favorite Hot Wing sauce (as needed)

1/2 red bell pepper diced finely
1/2 white or red onion diced finely
1-2 jalapeno peppers seeded and diced finely 
juice of half a lime (2-3 tsp)
1/2 tsp rice wine vinegar
1-2 tsp honey or agave syrup
salt to taste

 Directions:
1.  Bake Tyson Crispy Chicken Strips per package instructions.
2. Cut base of romaine lettuce and wash and dry leaves well. 
3.  Make mango salsa.
4.  Brush on hot wing sauce as much as desired over each strip.
5.  Assemble lettuce wrap by placing two leaves of romaine lettuce with one chicken strip.  Then top with mango salsa. Enjoy.
