Game Night or Date Night Recipe

I’m a total baseball and hockey type of mom. Having said that, I do enjoy watching the Super Bowl every year–only because of the outrageous performances offered at half time. Oh, and the delicious comfort food you get to eat while watching.

Chicken wings, nachos, tacos, just load me up with calories! Not. I’d prefer a healthier appetizer this time around.

These buffalo chicken lettuce tacos will satisfy your cravings and keep things light during the big game or even for date night.

Make as a healthy alternative for taco night, for friends and family. If they love spicy buffalo sauce, they’ll love the flavour of these healthy tacos.

Low Carb and Keto Tacos for Weight Loss

Why have a lettuce taco over a traditional flour or corn taco shell? There are so many nutrients in lettuce while being low in carbs and low in calories.

Lettuce tacos are super light and perfect for summer nights and entertaining, and simply for staying on track.

If you can’t seem to hold the shape of a taco, if your lettuce leaves aren’t large enough, who cares! Whip this recipe up as a chicken taco salad. You won’t be disappointed.

Lettuce Taco Shells

The key to making healthy low carb tacos are the large romaine lettuce shells. The bigger, the better.

You can wash and dry your lettuce prior to cooking so that they dry in time. You can also use a salad spinner to extract all the water. This way, you’re left with crispy lettuce that resembles a taco shell!

How to Make Chicken Lettuce Tacos

No need for packaged taco seasoning, this recipe is easy with the spices you are guaranteed to have on hand in your kitchen.

And even though you will be using chicken instead of beef, you will still season it as you would for regular tacos.

Buffalo Chicken Lettuce Tacos (Gluten-Free, Paleo)

Spicy Hot Buffalo Chicken

 

First, I whisked the hot sauce and spices in a medium bowl to create the spicy marinade.

When choosing which hot sauce to add, use Frank’s Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce, or Frank’s RedHot Original for for a whole lot of spicy goodness.

I also chopped the onion, tomatoes, jalapeños, portioned the shredded cheese, and washed and dried the lettuce leaves.

If you don’t have time to marinate the chicken for an hour beforehand, you can cook the chicken first, chop them up, and then continue to fry them in the sauce mixture.

The taste is unreal.

#AD The living room is the heart of our home, and #AD The living room is the heart of our home, and so is our television. We live for all of the cozy movie nights together as a family, or the simple everyday uses, like asking “Hey Google” to tell us the weather or to play a favourite song, not to mention navigating through apps like it’s nobody’s business! (our old TV lagged like crazy and would completely freeze).

It was time for an upgrade — our new @HisenseCa TV exceeds our expectations and is everything we wanted and needed for our family. It’s affordable, functional and convenient, and the quality is outstanding. They really hit it out of the ball park by making a luxury TV with all of the essential features at an affordable price. The picture is crystal clear, it’s easy to mount, quick start-up, and looks perfect over our fireplace!

A few specs of the 65U88G Android 4K QLED Premium:

-Native4K UHD Resolution
Dolby Vision + HDR10
-Chromecast & Google Assistant built-in
-120Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time
-Hisense proprietary ULED technology meets Hisense QLED (Quantum Dot)

Let’s settle a debate. Android or Roku? Which model would you choose?
