How do you make a low carb lettuce wrap?
- Tear a 12 inch square of wax paper to use as your base.
- Place 2-3 lettuce leaves in the center of the paper so they slightly overlap creating a solid barrier.
- Add sliced cheese in the center. Top with chicken, bacon and ranch dressing.
- Use the wax paper to help you wrap it tightly like a burrito.
- Slice down the center when ready to eat.
Is a lettuce wrap good for meal prep?
Certainly! While I do not suggest completely preparing this lettuce wrap more than just a few hours ahead of time, there are elements of this wrap that can be made ahead of time.
Prepare the chicken ahead of time: I like to grill thinly sliced chicken breast and store them in the fridge for wraps and salads. This is one of the easiest meal prep short cuts. For this recipe I use this delicious Chipotle Ranch Grilled Chicken. I combine the marinade and pour in a ziplock bag over the thinly sliced chicken breast and marinate at least an hour up to overnight.
Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side over medium heat or until a meat thermometer reaches 165 degrees. Allow the meat to rest 5 minutes before slicing. This cooked grilled chicken will last up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
Cook the bacon ahead of time: You can fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Or you can bake the bacon on a foil lined pan at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes, flip and bake an additional 8-10 minutes until crisp.
