Grilled Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Grilled chicken lettuce wraps deliver 28g of protein per two-wrap serving at 240 calories by replacing tortillas and bread with crisp butter lettuce cups. A 30-minute soy-garlic-lime marinade seasons the chicken through its surface layer before grilling, and a 5-minute post-grill rest keeps every slice juicy inside the wrap. Ready in 25 minutes of active time, these work equally well as a weeknight dinner or a meal-prep lunch.

Southwest Pasta Salad
Southwest pasta salad combines rotini, black beans, sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and red bell pepper in a smoky chili-lime vinaigrette. The dressing uses bloomed dry spices for deeper flavour than raw-spice versions. Ready in 25 minutes and better after a 1-hour chill, it holds well for 4 days making it a reliable make-ahead potluck dish.
