03 -
2 garlic cloves
04 -
10 oz ground chicken
05 -
1 Tablespoon ginger, freshly minced or as paste
06 -
2 Tablespoon sweet Thai chili sauce
07 -
1 lime, juiced
08 -
1/4 cup Tamari (low sodium), soy sauce, or coconut aminos
09 -
1 teaspoon maple syrup, honey, or agave
10 -
1/3 cup broken cashews (raw, roasted, or salted)
11 -
1/4 cup freshly chopped cilantro
12 -
1/4 cup scallions, sliced
13 -
1 head butter lettuce (washed and leaves separated)
14 -
1/4-1/2 cup shredded carrots
15 -
Sesame seeds for garnish
# Steps:
01 -
Grab a large pan and warm it up over medium-high heat with the sesame oil. Toss in the diced onions and let them soften and brown for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger, mix, and cook for 2 more minutes.
02 -
Break the ground chicken into the pan with a wooden spoon, stirring it so it absorbs the onion-ginger mixture. Add a little salt and pepper while mixing. Keep cooking for 3-4 minutes until the meat is fully cooked and golden.
03 -
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, chili sauce, and sweetener until smooth.
04 -
Pour the sauce into the pan over the chicken. Add the chopped cashews on top, stir everything together, then lower the heat. Let it all simmer for 2 minutes.
05 -
Take the pan off the stove and let it cool a little. Toss in the shredded carrots, chopped scallions, and cilantro, giving it a good stir.
06 -
Take a lettuce leaf, spoon in some chicken filling, and drizzle with a bit of sauce from the pan. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top, then repeat for the remaining wraps.
# Notes:
01 -
Butter lettuce is ideal, but romaine or iceberg work too.
02 -
Trader Joe's sweet chili sauce is a nice option for this.
03 -
If you prefer, ground turkey can be used instead of chicken.
