This popular appetizer item is transformed into a healthy main course. As instructed, you can serve them just like fajitas for a choose-your-own adventure; you and your guests will love this unique presentation, and it's a lot healthier for you than traditional fajitas. You can use large iceberg lettuce leaves instead of romaine, but if you don't like either of those choices, make sure you pick a sturdy enough green to handle the filling. The chicken, scallions, and water chestnuts wonderfully complement the cherry tomatoes and diced cucumbers as well as a simple sauce. Feel free to garnish with fresh cilantro if you have some on hand.
