Chicken Taco Lettuce Wraps:
Consequently, we often eat lettuce-wrapped tacos in the summertime. Especially when it is so hot outside that you don’t feel quite like eating. In conclusion, meat can be made ahead of time. They are super easy and delicious. Black beans or pinto beans would also be a nice addition to the slightly spicy meat. In conclusion, they would also make a wonderful snack for a Super Bowl Party or Tailgating.
Nutritional Facts are based on one lettuce-wrapped taco. It makes approximately 20 lettuce tacos. Top with a little Creamy Southwest Salad Dressing.
