Chicken Taco Lettuce Wraps
I just love lettuce wraps and this Chicken Taco Lettuce Wraps is one of my favorites. The use of the chicken in the recipe gives it just a little lighter calorie count. The recipe has all the seasons of a great taco just without the tortilla. This makes a great wrap and chopped up together makes a fantastic taco salad. Either way you have this recipe it will keep you coming back over and over. This is one of my favorite go to lunches. I keep some of the chicken taco mix in the freezer in individual serving bags, so it is a grab n go any time!
