πŸ₯¬ Why These Wraps Work on Keto

Swapping out tortillas or bread for lettuce cups is one of the easiest ways to cut carbs without sacrificing flavor or texture. The lettuce keeps everything crisp and light while the chicken gives you filling protein.

πŸ’‘ Meal Prep Friendly

You can make the chicken filling in advance and store it in the fridge for 3 days. When you’re ready to eat, just spoon it into fresh lettuce leaves and enjoy!

🌢 Customize It Your Way

  • Add a drizzle of sugar-free peanut sauce for a Thai twist.
  • Swap chicken for ground turkey or leftover rotisserie meat.
  • Use jalapeΓ±os or sriracha for added spice.
  • Top with crushed almonds or sesame seeds for crunch.

🧊 Storage Tips

Store the chicken mixture separately and assemble the wraps fresh. Lettuce tends to wilt when pre-filled.

🍽️ Nisar’s Note: I love pairing these wraps with my iced matcha or cucumber lime water — it turns lunch into a full-on clean comfort meal. And trust me, they’re surprisingly filling!
