Tasty Lettuce Wraps

 

Ingredients for this low calorie, low fat recipe are:

 

3 ounces of cooked chicken, cubed

1/4 cup of shelled corn

1/4 cup of drained black beans

1 shredded carrot

1 shredded zucchini

light ranch dressing salt & pepper

2 Large Lettuce Leaves that are bathing in a bowl of ice cold water

 

Stir fry veggies in no calorie cooking spray until tender. Add salt and pepper and chicken; stir and remove and allow to cool to a warm stage. If you put the mixture on the lettuce wrap when the mixture is iron hot, the lettuce leaves will wilt. You sure don't want a soggy Lettuce Wrap.

Add light ranch dressing (about 2 Tablespoons) to the veggie mix and stir. Next, pull the lettuce leaves out of their ice bath and pat them dry. Carefully fill one side of a lettuce leave with half of the southwestern veggie mixture - as you would if you were making an enchilada. Next, roll over once, then fold each end towards the center. Finish folding the lettuce leaf by rolling it shut.
