Mango, Avocado, Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Description
These lettuce wraps combine diced, grilled chicken breast with sweet ripe mango cubes, creamy avocado pieces, thinly sliced green onion, minced jalapeño for mild heat, and fresh cilantro leaves. The ingredients are gently mixed to keep textures distinct and flavors bright.
A chili lime vinaigrette made of fresh lime juice, olive oil, honey, chile powder, and kosher salt is whisked together separately and then poured over the chicken mixture to coat it evenly. The vinaigrette adds tanginess, subtle sweetness, and a mild smoky heat, enhancing the fresh ingredients.
Served spooned into soft butter lettuce leaves, the wraps provide hand-held portions combining juicy chicken, sweet fruit, creamy avocado, spicy pepper, and herbaceous notes. Chopped roasted cashews add a crunchy texture and nutty depth. This dish functions well as a light lunch, appetizer, or healthy snack with a balance of textures and flavors.
