Instructions

- Lay a lettuce leaf flat on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the marinated chicken mixture onto the center of the leaf.
- Top the chicken with avocado slices, cucumber slices, red bell pepper slices, and a sprinkle of chopped green onions.
- Drizzle fresh lime juice over the assembled wrap for a zesty finish.
- Fold the sides of the lettuce leaf over the filling, then roll from one end to the other to form a wrap.
- Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves and filling.
- Serve the Keto Zesty Chicken Lettuce Wraps immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light, satisfying meal. Enjoy!
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add a drizzle of Sriracha or a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes. You can also substitute the chicken with tofu for a vegetarian version.
