I would like to first thank my boyfriend for this recipe! We're both trying to cut down on the carbs so I come home to a wonderful suprise of home cooked fajiti lettuce wraps! Seriously it's crazy that a tortilla can have up to 200 calories...for just one!!! Anyways I figure by doing this recipe and using lettuce to replace the tortilla, I'm cutting out a good 500 calories from this meal. Here is the recipe (serves 2):
1 head of iceburg lettuce
2 boneless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 small onion
1 green or red pepper
1/2 can black beans
Salsa
lime juice
fresh cilantro to taste
Low fat cheese of your choice for topping
salt and pepper to taste
- Cut the chicken into strips and cook on frying pan (I use cooking spray to it doesn't stick).
- Add in onions and peppers and season with cumin, salt, and pepper.
- Once the chicken and veggies are cooked through, serve onto a plate
- Top the mixture with salsa, cilantro, lime juice, and cheese
- Heat up black beans either on the stove or microwave until hot
- Serve black beans on the side
- Use the iceburg lettuce to wrap the mixture in and enjoy!!
