These Caribbean Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps are a quick easy meal plus it’s Gluten Free since we’re using Lettuce Wraps!
Ahhhh Caribbean Jerk Chicken Lettuce Wraps…you had me at Caribbean. 🙂 When we were in the Caribbean on our last cruise there were Jerk Chicken stands on the streets. Locals would have a big grill set up and would be cooking this delicious chicken all day. If you haven’t tried the local food in the Caribbean, this is a must!
There’s also many stands selling spices in the Caribbean, so I made sure to pick up some local Jerk Seasoning. You can also find Jerk Seasoning at most grocery stores that taste just as good.
So today I was missing the Caribbean and decided to make my own Low Carb version of Jerk Chicken wraps using lettuce leaves. You can use any big lettuce leaves for this, I used Romaine Lettuce.
This was super easy to make too. Just fry up the chicken with the Jerk Spices. Then pile everything into your lettuce leaf. Then chow down – Nom Nom Nom!
If you try this, let me know what you think! Just leave a comment below and rate it – it’s really helpful for me and other readers. 🙂 And don’t forget to take a picture and Hashtag it #Tastefulventure on Instagram so I can see!
Cheers!
