Tips:
- Choose the right lettuce. Boston or Bibb lettuce works best for wraps because the leaves are large and sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing. You can also use romaine lettuce, but the leaves are a bit smaller and may need to be doubled up.
- Shred the chicken ahead of time. This will save you time when you're assembling the wraps. You can shred the chicken in a food processor or by hand.
- Make the tzatziki sauce ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and will make it easier to assemble the wraps.
- Use fresh, flavorful ingredients. The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your wraps will taste. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful herbs.
- Don't overfill the wraps. You want to be able to fold them up easily without them falling apart. Aim for about 1/2 cup of filling per wrap.
- Serve the wraps immediately. This will prevent the lettuce from wilting and the wraps from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Chicken lettuce wraps are a delicious and healthy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple tips, you can make chicken lettuce wraps that are sure to please everyone at your table.
