Tonight we enjoyed a new creation I came up with. I am using the term "enjoyed" loosely bc I went a little too far with this dish (I'll get to that in a minute). Although it's not organic, I really like the Papaya Mango Salsa from TJs. Husband does not eat tomatoes so I can't cook with regular salsa (boo) therefore I love this tomato-free salsa. I think I saw a recipe on Pinterest for something of the sort bc a while ago I started making a crock pot dinner with chicken, the salsa and a can of black beans. Throw all of that in the slow cooker and enjoy when you get home. It's incredibly simple, really delicious and my family really likes it.
So...a pin on Pinterest inspired me to cook chicken in the crock pot with the salsa only to turn it into lettuce wraps for dinner. Instead of adding the black beans in the crock pot, I kept those on the side and just heated them right before dinner. I got a little too creative and decided to place the chicken on top of sliced limes in the slow cooker. I love limes. Bad idea. The lime completely overpowered the dish. It was edible and fairly "decent" but I'll just call it ruined in my book. If I had not gone overboard with the lime, it would have been great. The mixture wrapped in a piece of iceberg with some black beans was really good. The concept was great, but the limes were overkill! I will definitely make this again but will absolutely leave out the lime!
Wrap it up like a burrito/taco thingy and enjoy!
