Instructions
- Pat sun-dried tomatoes with paper towel, then finely chop. Crumble meat into a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with sun-dried tomatoes, lemon-and-pepper seasoning and salt. Using a fork, stir frequently to keep meat crumbly. Cook until no pink remains, about 6 minutes.

Stir green onions and cheese into cooked chicken mixture. Taste and add lemon juice, if needed. Spoon warm chicken mixture into bowl. Have guests spoon mixture onto lettuce leaves. Wrap and enjoy!
