Instructions

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 to 4 tablespoons of marinade left over, to serve as dressing for finished lettuce wrap.
Allow the chicken to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
Lightly brush a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon 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 to 25 minutes at 425 degrees F or until the top of the chicken appears golden brown.
Once the chicken is baked, allow the tenders to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.

To Assemble:

Once cooled, lay tenders down on large segments of butter lettuce and top with leftover marinade, leftover herbs and leftover sweetened coconut.
Wrap like a burrito, serve, and enjoy!
