Fresh Lettuce Wrap Tacos
I love making these fresh lettuce wrap tacos when I want a satisfying and healthy snack. This Mexican-inspired recipe is unbelievably easy to make.
Ingredients
450 grams ground chicken (minced chicken)
1 head iceberg lettuce
2 teaspoon chili powder (chilli powder in British English)
½ medium white pepper - sliced
½ medium orange bell pepper (orange capsicum) - sliced
½ medium red pepper (red capsicum) - sliced
1 medium tomato - minced
1 large yellow onion
¼ cup corn
1 large avocado
2 teaspoons lime juice
2 cloves garlic - crushed
1 dash salt
1 dash ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Put 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet on medium-high heat.
- Add in the thawed ground chicken with 2 teaspoons of chili powder. Cook until done (no sign of pink through the chicken). Add a pinch of ground sea salt and pepper.
- Remove chicken from the heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive to the skillet and sauté vegetables for 8 minutes on medium-high heat (yellow pepper, red pepper, orange pepper, 1/2 onion) and add 1 clove of crushed garlic.
- While these are sautéing, prepare your 'salsa'. Mince the onion, tomato, frozen corn, and avocado and combine in a bowl with 2 tsp lime juice and 1 clove of crushed garlic. Add a pinch of ground sea salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked ground chicken back into the skillet with the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3 minutes on low-medium heat.
- Add your sautéed vegetables, salsa, and chicken to your lettuce wrap and enjoy.
