Comfort food with a healthy twist? These Southwest Chicken Lettuce Wraps are the perfect blend of flavor and freshness, and they come together in no time.

When I was a kid, taco night was always a family favorite. My mom would set up a whole station with all the toppings, and we’d pile everything onto crunchy shells. Now as a parent, I’ve found little ways to keep those nostalgic flavors alive while making them healthier. These lettuce wraps are my upgraded version of taco night—a protein-packed dinner that fits perfectly into my meal prep routine for the week.

Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 lb ground chicken or turkey
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 3 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Romaine or butter lettuce leaves (for wrapping)

Steps:
1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, cooking for 4–5 minutes until softened.
2. Add the ground chicken and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, and corn, cooking for 2–3 more minutes.
3. Remove from heat and stir in fresh cilantro. Spoon the mixture into lettuce leaves and serve immediately.

This recipe is perfect for food prep low calorie meals or as a quick healthy high-protein dinner. Make it once, and you’ll have protein meals for the week ready to go.

Busy weeknights call for easy dinner recipes that check all the boxes: quick, nutritious, and packed with flavor. These High Protein Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Zucchini Boats are a total game-changer. Trust me, they’ll disappear faster than you can say, “What’s for dinner?”

Growing up, my mom always had a knack for sneaking more veggies into our meals without us realizing it. One of her tricks? Hollowing out zucchini and filling them with something deliciously unexpected. Now I do the same for my family, only I’ve added a little spicy, cheesy twist to keep everyone coming back for seconds. Plus, these boats are gluten-free and high in protein for anyone looking for those healthier weeknight wins.

- 3 large zucchini
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie works perfectly!)
- 1/4 cup Buffalo sauce (adjust for spice level)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or cream cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and scoop out the centers, leaving a little edge to hold the filling.
2. Mix chicken, Buffalo sauce, yogurt or cream cheese, half the shredded cheese, and green onions in a bowl.
3. Stuff the zucchini halves with the mixture, place on a baking dish, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
4. Let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite sides!

2. In an oven-safe bowl, layer the cottage cheese and marinara sauce. Top with shredded mozzarella and your favorite pizza toppings. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
3. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

That’s it! In less than 15 minutes, you’ve got an easy, high-protein, low carb dinner that feels indulgent. This also makes a great gluten-free recipe for lunch if you’re looking for meal prep ideas with cottage cheese.
