HOW DO YOU MAKE CHICKEN FAJITA LETTUCE WRAPS

You’re going to start off by making the homemade fajita seasoning. It’s a blend of chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Or if you already have a favorite brand of fajita seasoning, you can certainly use that instead.

Toss the chicken with the fajita seasoning along with some lime and freshly chopped cilantro. Let the chicken marinate while you get your other ingredients ready.

Slice up the onions and peppers and fry them up in your skillet. We used a mix of red, orange, yellow and red bell peppers – use any combination of peppers you like.
Brown the chicken and divide into lettuce wraps.

CAN I USE ANOTHER TYPE OF LETTUCE FOR THESE WRAPS?

I love using butter lettuce but you can absolutely use your favorite green leaf lettuce that you prefer. Radicchio, steamed red cabbage or even collard greens would be delicious as well.

WHAT ELSE CAN I SERVE WITH LETTUCE WRAPS?

For a complete Mexican fiesta, you can serve these lettuce wraps along with some grilled corn, rice, beans and of course some guacamole or salsa.

And if you’d rather enjoy a low carb meal in a bowl, layer the chicken fajita filling over some cauliflower rice or zoodles.

These Chicken Fajita Lettuce Wraps would make the perfect light lunch, dinner or even appetizers for your next spring or summer party. Grab an ice cold drink and enjoy them on the patio or deck for your next Mexican fiesta.
