Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Grill chicken breast the night before.
  2. Slice chicken and place into a medium size sauce pan along with the salsa verde. Bring to a boil and set aside to cool down.
  3. Slice and chop veggies. Break apart and wash butter lettuce.
  4. Place all items (salsa verde chicken, butter lettuce, veggies, mayo and Herdez salsa) onto your table. Let the kiddos dig in and create their own lettuce wraps by adding chicken, salsa, mayo and veggies on top of each piece of lettuce. **Note: It sure can get messy but the fun definitely out ways the mess**

So what’s Children’s Day all about you might ask? It’s a National holiday celebrated on April 30th in Mexico for well over 90 years now. “On this day, teachers in schools organize the day for their children. In some schools, lessons are suspended for the day. They organize games, music, and the children bring in their favorite foods to share with others,” per Wikipedia.  To learn more about this holiday click here.
