Ingredients
  

1 pound ground chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon chili powder

2 teaspoons cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 avocado, diced

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1 lime, juiced

Lettuce leaves (butter or romaine for wrapping)

Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

    Brown the Meat: Add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.

      Season the Mixture: Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the spices blend in.

        Add Vegetables: Fold in the corn kernels and black beans, letting them heat through for about 3-4 minutes. Then, mix in the cherry tomatoes and remove the skillet from the heat.

          Prepare the Wraps: While the chicken mixture cools slightly, prepare the lettuce leaves by rinsing and patting them dry. This will be the base for your taco wraps.

            Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf, and scoop some of the loaded chicken mixture into the center. Top with diced avocado, shredded cheese, and fresh cilantro.

              Finish with Lime: Drizzle lime juice over the top, and if desired, add a few dashes of hot sauce for a kick!

                Serve: Enjoy your Loaded Chicken Taco Lettuce Wraps immediately for the best flavor and crunch!
