Ingredients
2tablespoonsolive oil
1poundboneless skinless chicken breastscut into small pieces
3tablespoonstaco seasoningI use reduced sodium, medium heat
1head butter lettuce
1medium tomatodiced small (I used Roma, vine-ripened or cherry tomatoes may be substituted)
½cupred bell pepperdiced small
½cupcornI used frozen, fresh may be substituted
1cupshredded cheeseI use a Mexican blend with monterey Jack and cheddar
¼cupfresh cilantro leavesfinely minced
½cupseasoned tortilla chipscrushed (I crush Doritos in my palm)
½cupcanned black beansdrained and rinsed, optional
To a large skillet, add the olive oil, chicken, and cook over medium-high heat for about 4 minutes, flipping and stirring intermittently so all sides cook evenly.
After the chicken has cooked through, evenly sprinkle with taco seasoning and stir to evenly coat. Cooking time will vary based on thickness of chicken breasts and sizes of pieces. Allow chicken to rest in pan off the heat while you prep the remaining ingredients.
Peel off the leaves of the butter lettuce from the core and stack them on a plate.
Place 2 leaves of butter lettuce on a separate plate (I like to double up the leaves so the wraps are sturdier) and add about 3 tablespoons chicken, 1 tablespoon tomatoes, 1 tablespoon bell peppers, 1 tablespoon corn, 2 tablespoons cheese, a pinch of cilantro, and sprinkle with tortilla chips to taste.
Optionally add black beans, avocado or guacamole, salsa, or sour cream for garnishing.
Fold up and enjoy immediately.
Repeat until chicken and remaining ingredients are gone. Wraps are best fresh.
