Preparation
- In a clean Tupperware, season each chicken tender with adobo, salt and pepper.
- Next, in a measuring cup, mix all of the wet ingredients together and whisk until a cohesive marinade is formed.
- Pour the majority of the marinade over the chicken tenders, leaving approximately 3-4 tablespoons of marinade left over, to serve as dressing for finished lettuce wrap.
- Allow chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Lightly brush a baking sheet with 1 tbsp of sesame oil. Place each chicken tender down on the baking sheet, approximately ½ inch to 1 inch apart from one another. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes at 425 °F or until the top of the chicken appears golden brown.
- Once the chicken is baked, allow the tenders to sit for 5–10 minutes.
- Once cooled, lay your tenders down on large segments of butter lettuce and top with your leftover marinade, leftover herbs and leftover sweetened coconut.
- Wrap like a burrito and enjoy.
