chicken “taco” lettuce wraps

another recipe i made up for the 17-day diet. it really curbed my craving for mexican and i was full after two wraps. i had roasted a chicken one day and used the shredded meat for two recipes. honestly, it was the perfect amount for three wraps each and a little chicken, olives, avo and cheese for payton.

ingredients:

1/2 of a roasted chicken, shredded
1 packet taco seasoning
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 can sliced black olives
10 grape tomatoes, sliced
1/2 avocado (again not on cycles 1 or 2 but we splurged for some healthy fat)
6-8 pieces of boston lettuce
2TB  fat-free cheddar cheese
2 TB fat-free sour cream + 1/2 tsp tapatio

directions:

combine hot water and taco seasoning in a small bowl. mix until combined. in a skillet, add in shredded chicken and taco seasoning, bring to simmer and reduce heat until most of the liquid is gone. remember, you’re just reheating the chicken and letting the flavors soak into the chicken.

to assemble: lay lettuce on plates, add chicken and remaining ingredients. top with sour cream/hot sauce mixture. enjoy!

super easy and fast weeknight meal. you won’t even notice the taco shell is missing. . .promise! serve with black beans if you wish. 🙂
