Published on June 28, 2019
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
To Assemble
- 12 leaves butter lettuce/bibb lettuce
- 1 tomato, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, diced

Cilantro Sauce
- 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro
- 6oz fat free Greek Yogurt (1 container)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 jalapeno (optional)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Juice of 1/2 lime

Directions
To Cook Chicken
- Add the chicken, garlic, olive oil, and spices in a large bowl or zip-seal bag. Place in fridge and let marinate for at least 15-30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Remove chicken from marinade, and discard marinade. Place chicken on a grill or pan heated to medium-high heat. Let chicken cook until it is no longer pink on the inside, about 9-10 minutes per side (or until it has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F). Once slightly cooled, shred or chop the chicken per your preference.
To Make Cilantro Sauce
- Place all the ingredients in the food processor and blend for 1 minute, or until creamy.
To Assemble
- Layer lettuce wraps with chicken, tomatoes, onion, and avocado. Drizzle with cilantro sauce, or your favorite taco sauce.
