Mexican Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for recipes that are fast and easy, but also kid friendly (because I have one of the pickiest eaters). This one was a hit with everyone and it couldn't be easier to make either.

3 c. cubed cooked chicken breast
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
1 can chopped green chiles
1/2 c. salsa
1/4 c. finely chopped onion
1/4 c. finely chopped sweet red pepper
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
12 bibb lettuce leaves
1/2 c. sour cream
1 medium avocado, finely chopped
shredded cheese

In a large bowl, combine the first 11 ingredients. Refrigerate until serving.

Just before serving, stir in avocado. Place 1/2 c. chicken mixture on each lettuce leaf; top with 2 tsp. sour cream and sprinkle on some cheese. Fold lettuce over filling and serve.
