  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 red onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves chopped
  • salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • 16 Bibb lettuce leaves washed and separated

Method
 

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in medium skillet over medium heat, add garlic, cabbage, and carrots. Stir frequently until cabbage is cooked and wilted. Add black pepper and salt as desired; remove from heat and set aside.
  2. In a separate large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high heat and add chicken. Cook chicken until juices run clear, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add cabbage mixture to chicken. Turn heat to low; add Buffalo sauce and cover. Simmer for about 10 minutes to let flavors sink in.
  4. Scoop chicken into the lettuce. Top each lettuce wrap with 1 teaspoon blue cheese, diced avocado, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
  5. For added crunch add crushed tortilla chips on top!
  6. Serves 4.

  • Storage: You can store leftover wraps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Freezing: While not recommended, you can freeze the filling without the lettuce. Thaw and reheat before serving.
  • Pairing: These wraps are excellent served alongside sweet potato fries or a refreshing fruit salad.
  • Customizations: Feel free to add different toppings like jalapeƱos or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
  • Cooking Tip: Ensure the chicken is cut evenly for consistent cooking.
