Hi.
I’m so filled with excitement and anticipation right now, guys! I hardly believe my book is coming out next Tuesday (!!) and, on top of that, we are working around the clock to finish up the ELR redesign! So much good stuff happening around here. I can hardly stand it. Thank you so much for your continued support through all these changes! It means a lot to me.
If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been using my crock pot a lot lately. I think I’ve definitely gotten my $24 of use out of it! {In case you’re wondering, here’s the model that I have, although I purchased mine from Target last year!} I just love it, especially the ease of only having to spend about ten minutes active time preparing a yummy meal to eat later. This time, I wanted to develop a chicken variation of my beef carnitas tacos.
This chicken variation is a bit lighter and healthier than the beef tacos {but still delicious!}. And to lighten things up even more, the spicy chicken mixture is all wrapped up nice and neat in a big ol’ lettuce leaf.
For these, I used boneless skinless chicken breasts. You don’t have to worry about them drying out in the slow cooker, though, because you’re going to cover them with onion, jalapeno and a jar of your favorite salsa! All those juices release during a nice slow cook, giving you perfectly juicy and spicy chopped chicken by the end.
Yum.
You can use the taco seasoning of your choice here! I am very partial to this easy, homemade one by Rachel, though! I made a huge batch of it last week and have been sprinkling it on just about everything since. I bet you have everything you need in your pantry right now to make it….go check!
If not, any ol’ taco seasoning will do just fine.
We loved these spicy lettuce wraps as a light(er) dinner last week. Adam also threw some leftover tex-mex chicken into scrambled eggs for breakfast! The amount of spice in the chicken really depends on the heat in the salsa you choose. If you’re not sure about spice, just omit the jalapeno and use mild salsa.
Then….all that’s left to do is……
wrap it up! wrap wrap wrap it up!
and enjoy.
Crock Pot Tex-Mex Chicken Lettuce Wraps
serves 4-6
Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning
1 jalapeno, seeded and sliced
1 16 oz jar of salsa
1 yellow onion, diced
salt, as needed (I used 1 tsp)
iceberg lettuce leaves for wrapping
Directions:
Sprinkle seasoning all over chicken breasts, then place breasts at the bottom of the slow cooker.
Scatter onion and jalapeno over chicken breasts. Pour salsa over top. Place lid on slow cooker and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours.
After 4-5 hours, remove chicken breasts from slow cooker and chop up. Place chopped chicken back in slow cooker and stir to combine. Season with salt to taste.
To serve lettuce wraps, spread one lettuce leaf out and scoop about 1/4th cup chicken mixture on top. Roll up lettuce leaf and enjoy!
Time:
active time—10 minutes
total time—4 hours

Debbie B
August 29, 2012 at 3:47 amHi Jenna,
I read your book in one sitting yesterday! I pre-ordered it on Amazon. It was great- I want my 14 year old to read it. I think you have a great work ethic and you have an independence that I wish more young girls had these days! I’m positive your parents are very proud!
Lisa
August 29, 2012 at 3:50 amI am excited about your book, too! I just placed my order on Amazon. Good luck with the new web redesign and book launch!
Laura
August 29, 2012 at 4:09 amI’m sooooooo excited to receive your book, I pre-ordered it but it’s taking it’s sweet as time to get to Australia. I can’t wait to dive into my copy.
Laura @FoodSnobSTL
August 29, 2012 at 4:19 amI am very excited for your book! I also want to make these lettuce wraps. I love the twist on the normally Asian dish.
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance
August 29, 2012 at 4:34 amAnything crockpot and Mexican is already fabulous in my book. I will definitely be making this now that I’m back to work full time. And I love the lettuce wrap idea to lighten it up a bit.
Molly @ RDexposed
August 29, 2012 at 4:48 amWhy haven’t I ordered your book yet? It’s on the to do list!
Elisabeth
August 29, 2012 at 5:30 amCan’t wait to read your book!
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat
August 29, 2012 at 5:36 amOoh I love Adam’s idea of throwing chicken into the eggs for breakfast -that sounds amazing (as does this dish in general!) I’m a sucker for anything Tex-Mex, especially when it comes slathered in salsa!
Jill
August 29, 2012 at 5:57 amLooks delicious! I love that it’s for the crock pot.
Amy
August 29, 2012 at 6:03 amI preordered it on Amazon too and have 2 chapters left. I could have finished it last night, but wanted to save some for today. I love your writing and you’ve definitely inspired me to follow my passion of cooking. Not sure where it will take me yet, but it’s gotten me so excited! Great work.
jenna
August 30, 2012 at 8:44 amThank you so much, Amy!
Erin
August 29, 2012 at 6:13 amI got your book this weekend and it is great! I haven’t finished it yet, but am enjoying a chapter in between tedious school readings. Your passion for what you do is such an encouragement to someone in the position of trying to figure it all out right now!

Shannon
August 29, 2012 at 6:58 amwell…..Amazon sent my copy a few days early! I guess pre-order does work out well sometimes! I am loving it and flying right through which is normally tough for me with books. I teared up reading about your revelation that you might not be a runner but you are always on the run! Loving it!!!
Laura (Blogging Over Thyme)
August 29, 2012 at 7:41 amOh no! I’m trying to wean myself of buying anymore kitchen appliances (except a stand mixer, which I totally still need and want)–but $20 dollars is such a small investment in order to be able to eat all these delicious things. So tempting!
Heather M
August 29, 2012 at 7:46 amThis recipe looks incredible! Adding it to my list of things to make when my kitchen is up and running again post remodel.
I also received your book early (which I was SO excited about) and am absolutely LOVING it!
Kate
August 29, 2012 at 8:45 amI feel you on being kitchen-less! Our kitchen will be ready in a few weeks and I can’t wait to get back into cooking, prepping, baking – oh, my!
Heather M
August 30, 2012 at 12:06 pmI am actually so excited that I just might sit down this weekend to map out where I am going to put everything! It will at lease make me feel like I am doing something in the kitchen, haha.
Hope your kitchen turns out wonderfully!
Heather @ Heather's Dish
August 29, 2012 at 7:58 amlet’s be honest here: you had me at slow cooker. i can’t get enough of mine right now and i LOVE the tex-mex twist!
Christy
August 29, 2012 at 8:03 amI got your book yesterday too and am so excited to start it! I was thinking about holding off and suggesting it for book club next year, but I don’t think I can leave it on the bookshelf that long. 🙂
These lettuce wraps look great! Love that they look so simple to make too!
Tara @ Chip Chip Hooray
August 29, 2012 at 8:07 amDEFINITELY making these soon. Love easy crockpot recipes! 🙂
Laura
August 29, 2012 at 8:10 amHi Jenna,

Currently Travel Zoo is offering a discount on Saturday’s Taste of Atlanta tickets – $7 off general admission and $15 off VIP. http://www.travelzoo.com/local-deals/Atlanta/Entertainment/23779?utm_source=network_us&utm_medium=network

Millie Snyder
August 29, 2012 at 8:16 amCongratulations on the book coming out! I also am excited to release my book in the near future. You should definitely be excited! Good Luck!
The meal looks fantastic. I am going to try this one when my grandkids come over!
Jill G
August 29, 2012 at 8:31 amI actually just made your barbecue pulled chicken last night in my crock pot. It turned out great and everyone loved it. This sounds like something I definitely need to try.
Katryn
August 29, 2012 at 8:35 amI find that when I make things in my slow cooker they get really liquid-y…has anyone else had this issue? Also, the past couple meats that I’ve done in my slow cooker have gotten really tough. So I’ve stopped using my slow cooker. I wonder what I’m doing wrong….
Lindsay
August 29, 2012 at 8:57 amThanks for this, Jenna! Do you think it would work with tofu for vegetarians? Any suggestions? Thanks again!
De @ Cooking for the Other Half
August 29, 2012 at 9:30 amLove this! I’m always on the lookout for more lettuce wrap recipes. And I can’t wait to read your book!!
jenna
August 29, 2012 at 9:34 ammmm.these look great! what brand of salsa do you use? i always have the hardest time finding a good salsa.
Annie L.
August 29, 2012 at 10:37 amit is hard to find! that’s why homemade is always best!! if it calls for anything tomato or salsa type i usually end up using Rotel with green chilies, love that stuff!!
jenna
August 30, 2012 at 8:59 amI really like “Green Mountain Gringo” salsa and just the generic Whole Foods 365 salsa the best 🙂 I recently tried some peach salsa from Harry & David and loved it, too!
Katie
August 29, 2012 at 9:42 amWe’ve been having asian lettuce wraps once a week this summer…I’m so excited to switch it up next week! And break out my crock pot. And read your book.
A lot of excitement over here.
Jessica
August 29, 2012 at 9:48 amI just got your book last night-I can’t WAIT to read it!! The design layout is fabulous 🙂 Congrats!
Kate
August 29, 2012 at 10:03 amThat looks delicious! It’s on my to-do list to buy a crock pot for fall.

Anything tex-mex, you can’t go wrong. Looks so good!
Judith
August 29, 2012 at 10:37 amWhat goes around comes around!
I sold my crock pot in a garage sale about 25 years ago…and now they’re baaack:-)
This recipe does sounds delish, easy and healthy, so I may be making a trip to Target soon.
Still haven’t ordered the book from Amazon, as I will be at the SF book signing, and want to know if you can still sign it if I don’t buy at Omnivore?
Excited that your “baby” is here!
jenna
August 30, 2012 at 9:00 amI am SURE you can just bring in your book…and if that is “against the rules”, come find me after and I will sign it for you! (it’s like bringing your own snacks to the movie)
kim@hungryhealthygirl
August 29, 2012 at 10:53 amI love the ease and yumminess of this recipe! Perfect for school nights. Excited for your book and can’t wait to read it!
Caroline L.
August 29, 2012 at 10:56 amThis looks so delish! It reminds me of Korean BBQ, where they wrap up the meat with lettuce – so yumz 😉
Rebecca {Foodie With Family}
August 29, 2012 at 11:11 amFirstly, your book is fabulous. I am so glad I got to read it! Everyone needs to go out and buy it!
Secondly, these lettuce wraps are calling my name. You know how I feel about Tex Mex. I’m making these this weekend!

August 29, 2012 at 1:07 pmSo excited for you!! I am looking forward to reading your memoir. 🙂
A bowl full of simple
August 29, 2012 at 1:26 pmAfter making your beef carnitas is the crock pot last week!! Amazing. I put it all together before we left and spent the day on the lake and Bam! Dinner was served when we got home, ( right after my hubby made his famous skinny margaritas!)
I will definitely be trying all your crock pot recipes!

August 29, 2012 at 2:58 pmWe really loved your beef carnitas – these are a nice variation. 🙂

Jen A
August 29, 2012 at 4:03 pmI made this for dinner tonight with a corn salsa, soooo good!
Sara Nickel
August 29, 2012 at 6:10 pmVery excited for your book release! I always love a good Crock Pot recipe. With the relentless heat in the Midwest, I’ve been using mine a lot this summer. Do you think pork tenderloin might work for this recipe as well?
jenna
August 30, 2012 at 9:01 amI do think pork would be delicious in this!
Julie @ Table for Two
August 29, 2012 at 7:05 pmi don’t get how your book is coming out next tuesday but amazon is already selling and shipping it?? do they get some kind of early release thing? in any case, doesn’t matter, cause i bought it and am reading it on the plane ride to Seattle next month 🙂 so so excited!!! idk if i can even wait that long to crack it open! gorgeous lettuce wraps, i want to eat it all up!
jenna
August 30, 2012 at 9:01 amYes! They get early release. Crazy, huh? I am so excited to hear what you think of it, Julie!!
luv what you do
August 29, 2012 at 7:06 pmThat is the best crock pot recipe that I’ve seen in a long time. It looks amazing and it is definitely going into my Sunday football rotation!
Joelle (on a pink typewriter)
August 29, 2012 at 7:15 pmThis recipe sounds AMAZING. I need to dust off my crockpot.. it’s been in the closet all summer, but this recipe is too yummy looking for it to sit unused any longer!
Jenna @ Spinach In My Teeth
August 29, 2012 at 7:18 pmThank you for my next crock pot meal! Can’t wait to try these.

August 30, 2012 at 8:03 amI am so thankful for this recipe, with the kids back in school and practices are starting, I need as many slow cooker meals as possible, and it is too funny how you had this posted today , when I woke up this morning, I had lettuce wraps on the brain, being my daughter’s love them, and this is super convenient with our busy schedules these days, thank you!
Hannah
August 30, 2012 at 8:27 amHi Jenna! Can I leave the chicken in crockpot for longer? If I put it in at 8 and remove at 6, would that be OK? Cheers!
jenna
August 30, 2012 at 9:01 amI’m sure that would be fine—just make sure it’s set on Low.
mom
August 30, 2012 at 2:14 pmHannah ~ If you put it in according to Jenna’s recipe, after the time allotted, it should automatically turn to “warm”. It will be fine there until you get to eat it 🙂
Julia {The Roasted Root}
August 30, 2012 at 8:57 amSo excited to read your book! Big congrats, this is a HUGE step in life and you should be very proud of yourself! Your tex mex lettuce wraps look fantastic and I love that they’re as simple as throwing ingredients into a crock..my kind of cooking!

Angela @ Happy Fit Mama
August 30, 2012 at 11:40 amI often think of my crock pot for the fall and winter seasons but have started using it more in the past week. In fact, I’ve got a Tuscan Stew going right now. It’s an essential for busy people. Pinning this for future reference!
Chelsea
August 30, 2012 at 11:52 amSo SO excited to read your book! And I have to admit I’m just as excited about the redesign—blog design warms my designer heart!

Tracy
August 30, 2012 at 5:29 pmI cannot wait to read your book!! Any word on when a kindle version will be available?
Liz
August 30, 2012 at 7:23 pmThat looks delicious!
Jenna, I was wondering if you had ever grilled or roasted avocados? Somehow the other day I stumbled on a blog post about roasting avocados, and then when I searched for more information on that, I found a recipe for grilled avocado.
I am on an avocado kick right now and I quartered an avocado lengthwise, removed the stone and skin, and then grilled it in a grill pan with just a slight amount of olive oil (which was probably unnecessary) and a little salt and pepper. It takes just a minute or less on each side, to warm the fruit and get grill marks. INSANELY good! Before that, I could not even imagine warm avocado, let alone avocado with a bit of char. Grilled avocados would be great on these lettuce wraps. (They also apparently add a great smokiness to guacamole.)
Ashley Smith Mikkelson
August 30, 2012 at 9:35 pmWaiting “patiently” for your book to arrive…. Any suggestions as to what I should make while reading it??

also, we made this corn salad as a side dish – highly recommend. one of my favorites!
