Lettuce tacos with spicy chicken and lime
Crispy lettuce tacos with seasoned chicken and fresh lime, perfect for Phase 1 with very few carbohydrates.
Crispy lettuce tacos with spicy chicken and lime bring the flavours of Mexican cuisine to your plate without the heavy wrap. Fresh little gem leaves cradle tender seasoned chicken, while a squeeze of lime and fresh coriander make everything bright and vibrant. A lunch that feels like a treat but fits perfectly within your protein diet.
In Phase 1 you keep carbohydrates strictly low and this works effortlessly here. The lettuce replaces the tortilla and delivers hardly any carbs, while the chicken fillet provides a solid serving of protein. That protein-rich foundation keeps you satisfied for longer and helps you maintain muscle mass during this starting phase. So you stay full of energy without the hunger.
Delicious with a spoonful of full-fat Greek yoghurt with lime zest as a cool dip, or a handful of extra coriander and a few strips of red pepper for those who love a spicy finish.
