These Creamy Spiced Chicken Lettuce Wraps are an easy weeknight meal. Lettuce wraps are one of our go-tos when we are watching carbs in our diet. Basically, anything we would put in a tortilla, pita, over rice etc. goes in a lettuce cup. I used romaine in these, but butter or bibb lettuce works as well. If you are not watching your carb intake, a pocketless pita would be equally delicious. I used my trusty Cuisinart Smart Stick 2 Speed Hand Blender, Brushed Stainless Steel. I know I reference this product all the time. If you can’t already tell, I really love it. In this recipe, I used the tall blending cup, put all the ingredients inside, and zapped it up with the immersion blender. You can use your leftover cilantro in these Fish Tacos, Cilantro Rice, or these Chicken Enchiladas during the rest of the week. This will be the first of manylettuce wrap recipes. I hope you enjoy this version!
