Description

These wraps are packed with Thai-inspired flavors: ginger, garlic, soy, and lime meld with juicy chicken and crisp veggies for a healthy, crave-worthy bite.


Ingredients

Scale

For the filling:

  • 1 lb ground chicken

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1 bell pepper, finely diced

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • 1 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp fish sauce (or more soy sauce if preferred)

  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce

  • 1 tsp sriracha (optional, for heat)

  • Juice of ½ lime

  • Salt and pepper to taste

For serving:

  • 1 head butter lettuce or romaine, leaves separated

  • Chopped peanuts, shredded carrots, cilantro, or mint for garnish

  • Extra lime wedges and chili sauce (optional)


Instructions

1️⃣ Cook the aromatics: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until fragrant.

2️⃣ Add chicken: Add ground chicken and cook, breaking it up, until browned and cooked through.

3️⃣ Flavor the filling: Stir in bell pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, hoisin, sriracha, and lime juice. Cook for 3–4 more minutes, then add green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning.

4️⃣ Assemble the wraps: Spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves. Garnish with peanuts, carrots, and herbs.

5️⃣ Serve: Plate with lime wedges and extra sauces on the side. Serve warm or at room temperature.

 

 

Notes

  • Substitute turkey or tofu for chicken if preferred.

  • Make it low-carb by using romaine hearts or collard greens.

 

  • Great for meal prep—store filling and lettuce separately until ready to eat.
