#4 Mexican chicken lettuce wrap

This recipe is so good, we're having it a second night in a row. Simple prep, throw it in the crockpot, and finished. Beware it is MESSY when you eat it, but it is OH SO GOOD! You could also cook some rice to go with it which would soak up some of the dripping sauce.

*Note- On the second night I used butter lettuce in place of the romaine, but the flavor wasn't as strong so I highly recommend using romaine lettuce. I also cooked rice to go along with it, and it did exactly as I thought and soaked up the extra sauce nicely.

Mexican chicken lettuce wrap
1 lb chicken (I used chicken breast)
1 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning
16 ounces salsa
1 yellow onion diced
Lettuce
Mexican cheese

Sprinkle chicken with taco seasoning, making sure to cover thoroughly. Lay in the bottom of a slow cooker. Sprinkle the diced onion over the chicken, then pour the salsa on top. Cook for 4-5 hours on low. Pull chicken out and shred (mine fell apart so easily, it was so tender!) Then put back into crockpot and stir with the salsa. Serve on a piece of lettuce. (romaine lettuce makes the perfect little boat) Sprinkle cheese over each serving individually.
