Enjoy a fresh and healthy twist on tacos with these lettuce-wrapped chicken tacos. Perfect for a light meal, these wraps are filled with tender chicken and vibrant veggies, all while being low in calories.

Main Dish

Steps

Begin by washing the romaine lettuce leaf thoroughly and patting it dry.
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced tomatoes, diced cucumber, Greek yogurt, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
Mix all the ingredients until well combined.
Place the chicken mixture in the center of the lettuce leaf.
Fold the sides of the lettuce over the filling and enjoy your fresh taco wrap.

Tips for Lettuce-Wrapped Chicken Tacos

Choose a broad, crisp romaine leaf; a torn or limp leaf is more likely to leak when folded.
Keep the chicken mixture fairly cool and avoid excess liquid from the diced vegetables so the filling stays together.
The filling should look creamy but still chunky, with distinct pieces of tomato and cucumber rather than a watery dressing.

Drink pairing

A crisp, dry rosé
Its bright, refreshing character complements the cool vegetables, tangy lime, and mild chicken.

0% option: Sparkling water with lime

Storage

Store the filling separately from the lettuce in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Assemble just before serving; refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
