01
Step 1
Start by cooking the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Turn it occasionally so it browns evenly, which should take about 10 minutes. Once it’s crispy, transfer the bacon to some paper towels to drain, but keep the bacon grease in the pan.

Step 2
Next, add the chicken to the skillet and cook it in the bacon drippings. Season with a bit of salt and pepper, and stir everything around so the chicken gets nicely coated.

Step 3
While the chicken is cooking, mash up the avocado in a bowl. Mix in some lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to taste. Then, stir in chopped tomato and onion until you get the flavor you like.

How to serve
Serve these wraps chilled or at room temperature for a refreshing meal. They pair well with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad. Add a squeeze of lime or a drizzle of your favorite sauce for extra zest.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover components separately to keep everything fresh longer. Keep the lettuce wraps in an airtight container in the fridge and assemble just before eating to avoid sogginess. Cooked chicken and bacon can be stored in sealed containers for up to three days.
