How do you make a Keto Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Wrap?
Begin by laying a square of wax or parchment paper on your surface. This is important because lettuce wraps can be rather flimsy and it helps to stabilize the wrap so none of your delicious fillings fall out. Using 2-3 lettuce leaves create a “tortilla” make sure the leaves overlap so they create a solid base.
Then add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese right in the center. You can also use Swiss or pepper jack if you want to try different flavors. Top the cheese with the sliced chicken. I like to use my favorite Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken.
Place the cooked bacon on top of the chicken and then drizzle with buffalo sauce and ranch dressing. Then using your paper to help you wrap your lettuce wrap just like a burrito. When finished your wrap should be encased in your wax paper just like the photo below. When ready to eat just slice down the center!
Are lettuce wraps good for meal prep?
Yes! This is an especially great recipe for easy low carb meal prep because the chicken and the bacon can be cooked ahead of time. If you do this you can prepare your wrap in under 5 minutes!
Also, if you use the wax paper method listed above your wrap will hold securely making it perfect for an easy work lunch. Just pair with other low carb sides like salted almonds, or cucumbers and ranch for a perfect keto lunch! You can even pop in a slice of my favorite keto fudge for dessert!
