Directions for preparation:

Prepping the Chicken:

  • Turn on your grill or pan on the cook top over medium to high heat.
  • While that’s warming up, dip your chicken (or veggies if you’re a vegetarian) in the Extra virgin olive oil and spice mix. Coat them well and then once the pan is hot enough
  • Place all of the chicken in the pan and cook on low to medium heat for approximately 15 minutes, turn the chicken breasts often.
  • Slowly add one container of chicken broth as you continue to cook the meat
  • While your meat is cooking this is the perfect time to prep your veggies

Prepping the rest:

  • Slice and chop your veggies
  • place the mushrooms, jalapeno(es), and green onions in the leftover (warm) EVOO seasoning mix. Brown them until cooked to desired texture.
  • Heat up your beans and set out any other condiments you would like to serve such as cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc, just get creative
  • take two forks and “shred” (don’t slice) each chicken breast until they are all in finely shredded pieces
  • spread your boston lettuce leaves out on a plate for serving
  • Use the lettuce wraps as your “taco shells” and stuff them with all the goodness and enjoy!
