Ohhhh Lettuce

I dislike lettuce. I dislike lettuce a lot. For no real particular reason, I just never have. When I order a salad I normally ask if I can just have tomatoes and cucumbers. However tonight I wanted chicken tacos so I set off to lovely Pinterest for ideas. Of course every one had them using lettuce as the shell. My 9 year old daughter was all for this, my 5 year old son said "I'll just have chicken" and Keith was again working and wasn't going to be hungry, so off to the store we went to buy lettuce. 

I made our own taco seasoning to marinade the chicken in. I was shocked at how easy it was and enjoyed being able to modify it. I'm also not a big fan of package store seasoning and loved being able to substitute the chili powder for a few twists of the red pepper flakes. (I'll be sure to come back and add the recipe I used). Since Keith wasn't home to grill the chicken I had to resort to baking it. I set the oven at 400 and kept an eye on them. While waiting I cut up the tomatoes and acacados (my two favorite things!!!). Then the challenge became more of keeping myself and my daughter from eating that before the tacos were ready. 

I have got to say as a lettuce disliker that these were delicious!!
