    RECIPE: Shredded Chicken, Butternut Squash & Black Bean Taco Wraps

    Veggie Soirée Shredded Chicken, Butternut Squash & Black Bean Taco Wraps

    With Butter Lettuce, Broccoli Sprouts and Hemp Seeds

    Let’s reinvent Taco Tuesday and swap out those grain-heavy, grease-filled tacos for healthy and delicious alternatives like these sweet and savory taco wraps. Made with our Veggie Soirée, pasture-raised, antibiotic-free chicken, butternut squash and black beans wrapped in butter lettuce, these tacos are antioxidant-rich and high in essential vitamins like Vitamin D, Vitamin B6 & Vitamin A. Top with some broccoli sprouts and hemp seeds for added nutrients and omega-3 fatty acids, plus our Matcha Sriracha if you want to bring the heat.
