Castaway

Leave The World Behind!

(Scroll down to "The Playlist" and hit play before reading... works better that way!)

Man... what is going on in the world? 

Too much stuff... Relax, we all need to just get in an Island State of Mind.  I personally think that my goal this weekend will be to "try and stay on top of my flip flops"- Kristian Bush. 

This week we are all about letting it all go and acting like a "castaway". Just forget about the world and enjoy a light and spicy lettuce wrap, sip on a frozen mojito while you listen to a few "Castaway" melodies. 

Time to get away... The pots are on!

The Plate... 

Chipotle Chicken Lettuce Wrap

Just a little something light and easy for your Island Excursion. We even dare say a little healthy. 

What you need... 

12 oz shredded chicken (rotisserie from the store is easiest)

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 cup whole milk

1 medium onion / diced

3 cloves garlic / minced

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp dried oregano

1 chipotle pepper with adobo sauce / minced

1 tsp salt

6 bib lettuce leaves

Pico de gallo salsa

What you do...

Heat the coconut oil in a skillet.

Toss in the diced onion and salt. 

Saute for about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle in the cumin and oregano.

Add the chipotle and garlic to sauce for about a minute.

Pour in the milk and stir to combine.

Once the mixture has bubbled, mix in the shredded chicken to coat evenly.

Spoon the mixture evenly onto the lettuce leaves and top with pico de gallo.
