Method
Wash the Lettuce
- Take fresh lettuce leaves. Wash them under clean water and dry them well with a paper towel. This keeps the leaves crisp and fresh.
Prepare the Chicken
- Use cooked chicken. You can shred it with your hands or cut it into small bite-size pieces with a knife. Both work fine.
Chop the Vegetables
- Slice cucumber, bell pepper, and carrot into thin pieces. This makes the wrap crunchy and colorful.
Mix the Filling
- In a large bowl, add the chicken, chopped veggies, sauce of your choice, cilantro, and spices. Mix everything well so the flavors blend together.
Fill the Lettuce Leaf
- Take one clean lettuce leaf and place it flat on a plate. Put some chicken mixture in the center. Add extra veggies if you like.
Roll the Wrap
- Fold the lettuce leaf gently from the sides and roll it up like a small wrap. Be careful so the filling doesn’t fall out.
Serve Fresh
- Repeat the same steps with the rest of the lettuce leaves. Serve your healthy chicken lettuce wraps right away for the best taste.
Notes
- Use grilled chicken for a smoky taste and extra flavor.
- Add avocado, cheese, or nuts if you want a richer and creamier wrap.
- For spice lovers, drizzle chili sauce or sriracha before rolling the wrap.
- Always dry the lettuce leaves fully. Wet leaves can tear and make the wrap soggy.
- Best enjoyed fresh. Do not store for long, as lettuce loses crispness.
- You can also make the filling in advance and just assemble when ready to eat.
