Not your ordinary tacos – these Thai chicken lettuce tacos are spicy and exotic, made with my light peanut sauce which I make with PB2 (powdered peanut butter) sriracha, ginger and spices. To balance out the spice, I chose to serve these in crisp cool lettuce wraps but tortillas would work great too!

Thai Chicken Peanut Lettuce Tacos

Replacing tortillas for lettuce is a great way to make tacos even lighter or even gluten. A few more I love Steak Lettuce Taco Wrap, Turkey Santa Fe lettuce Wraps, and Laotian Chicken and Shrimp Larb.

A few months ago while visiting Asheville, NC with my friend Sandy (such a great food scene there!) we stopped for lunch at the White Duck Taco Shop, a creative taco joint where we had Bulgogi Tacos, Bangkok Shrimp Tacos and Duck with Mole Tacos.

What do food bloggers talk about while eating lunch together? Well we talked about food, recipes ideas, and decided we were going to come up with our own creative taco recipes and share them together. Well it took longer than we hoped, but finally today we are both sharing our fun unique spin tacos. Check out Sandy from The Reluctant Entertainer’s Black Bean Tacos with Roasted Salsa recipe here

And if you’re in the mood for Thai without the guilt, you’ll love these spicy peanut chicken lettuce tacos! Enjoy and happy Taco Tuesday!

How To Make Lettuce Wraps

Lettuce wraps are low-carb, keto, gluten-free and low calorie, and don’t interfere with the flavors of the filling. A few tips when making lettuce wraps:

Look for lettuce leaves that are large enough to hold the filling. I like to use iceberg lettuce for larger cups. Romaine lettuce and baby romaine are also great.

The leaves of butter or boston lettuce are smaller, but also wonderful.

If you prefer, you can turn this into a big chopped salad by simply serving this over a bowl over chopped lettuce.
