Veggilicious Chicken Lettuce Wrap Tacos

I was looking at the calendar for this month and saw that today is the mother of all Taco Tuesdays. It is National Taco Day!

Mexican is one of my favorite cuisines, but with my gluten sensitivity and hypothyroidism I feel my best when I stay away from dairy, flour, and corn products. This means that cheese and tortillas are out of the picture. No worries!

I have found a way to still enjoy tacos and get more veggies in my diet. Enter the lettuce wrap!

This recipe for chicken tacos that replaces the tortillas with lettuce wraps. I have also swapped the cheese for avocado to replace that creamy fat consistency. To get some extra gut healthy nutrients I have added nutrient rich red cabbage, and lime.

Do I have your mouth watering? Want to make your taco vegilicious? Check out the recipe below:
