FAJITA LETTUCE CUPS

Fajita Lettuce Cups image

Refreshing, crisp, delicious! My husband loves this dish. It's super easy and you can use pretty much whatever you have in the kitchen: chicken, shrimp, etc. Top with cilantro, Mexican-style sour cream, and cotija cheese.

Time 16m

Yield 3 lettuce cups, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 medium iceberg lettuce leaves (or leaves from another round, firm head of lettuce)
3 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts, lean, sliced
1/2 cup bell pepper, red & green, sliced
1/2 cup onion, sliced
2 tablespoons guacamole (HG also makes a Guacamole!)
1 tablespoon salsa
1 tablespoon nonfat sour cream
1 1/2 teaspoons fajita seasoning mix, dry

Steps:

Place chicken, peppers, and onions in a medium bowl. Blend fajita seasoning mix with 3 tablespoons water and pour mixture over the chicken and veggies. Stir so that chicken and veggies are thoroughly coated. Let marinate for 5 minutes.
Spray a medium pan with nonstick spray and bring to medium-high heat. Pour chicken/veggie mixture (including any excess marinade) into the pan. Moving mixture around occasionally with a spatula, cook until chicken is cooked through and veggies are slightly browned (about 6 minutes).
Transfer mixture to a bowl. Serve with the lettuce leaves, guac, salsa, and sour cream. Enjoy fajita-style, by loading up each lettuce "cup" with 1/3rd of the mixture and topping with the condiments. Yum!
