These absolutely divine, sweet, and a little bit spicy chicken lime wraps are a great, yet quick lunch idea. Make this budget-friendly dinner recipe in no time with things you already have in your pantry!

I always love chicken wraps for a quick lunch, and these chicken lime lettuce wraps are a fun and healthy spin on them!

You can use all of the things you already have in your fridge and pantry to make this delicious lettuce wrap recipe.

When you use the lettuce pieces for the wrap it makes your standard wraps a little bit healthier with a nice added crunch! But if the lettuce wrap isn’t for you, feel free to use a tortilla instead.

You can serve these lettuce wraps with some delicious fries like our Baked Carne Asada Fries, Baked Sweet Potato Fries, or our Baked Seasoned Steak Fries.
