Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Trocadero lettuce leaves
Barbecued chicken
Tomatoes
Onions
Avocado dip
Sour cream
Barbecue sauce
Chives
Cheddar cheese

Step 1

Cube any left over barbecue chicken that you may have from the day before. Baked chicken will work, too--just add some barbecue sauce.
Step 2

Dice some tomatoes and onions. Also set aside some sour cream, avocado dip and shredded cheddar cheese.
Step 3

Take a trocadero lettuce leaf and place some of the cubed chicken in the center. Add additional barbecue sauce, tomatoes and onions. Pile on some avocado dip and sour cream and sprinkle on the cheese.
Step 4

Roll up all the ingredients in the lettuce leaf. Take one long chive and wrap it around the center of the lettuce wrap. Tie the ends together. Cut off the ends so it looks neat. Cut off the ends of the lettuce wrap, too, so that the presentation looks fresh.

Tips & Warnings

Keep washed, shredded vegetables and cubed chicken in the refrigerator to save time.
This is a great option for a meal replacement if you're avoiding or cutting back on carbohydrates.
