Main Dish

Steps

In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with diced tomatoes, red onion, and chopped cilantro.
Mash the avocado in a separate bowl and mix in lime juice, salt, and pepper to create a creamy sauce.
Lay the large lettuce leaf flat and spoon the chicken mixture into the center.
Drizzle the avocado sauce over the chicken filling.
Carefully fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling to create a wrap.
Enjoy immediately as a light and nutritious meal!

Tips for Lettuce Wrap Chicken Tacos

A broad butter lettuce leaf bends easily, while romaine gives a crisper, sturdier bite.
Keep the filling modest so the leaf can hold it without tearing; serve extra filling on the side.
The wrap is best assembled just before eating, when the lettuce is still crisp.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its fresh acidity complements the lime and avocado while pairing neatly with the seasoned chicken.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Refrigerate leftover chicken filling and avocado sauce separately within 2 hours, covered, and use within 3–4 days. Store lettuce separately; assembled wraps soften quickly.
