Like, who wouldn't want that? These wraps are perfect for lunch, dinner, or even a fun snack while watching your favorite show!
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground chicken or turkey, beef, tofu for a veggie option!
- 1 cup shiitake mushrooms finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper diced (any color you prefer)
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Iceberg or Butter lettuce leaves these are your wraps!
- Sliced green onions for garnish
- Optional toppings: chopped peanuts cilantro, or sriracha for some extra kick!
Instructions
- Heat it Up: Grab your favorite pan and put it on medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil (I like olive or sesame) to get things sizzling.
- Brown that Protein: Toss in your ground chicken (or whatever you chose). Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Veggies: Now, let’s get those mushrooms and bell peppers in there. Stir them up with the meat and keep cooking until everything is tender, about another 5 minutes.
- Flavor Time: Add in your garlic! Let it cook for about a minute—smell that amazing aroma? Next, pour in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil. Stir everything up until it’s all mixed well and bubbly—around 2-3 minutes.
- Wrap It Up: Now take those lettuce leaves and place a generous spoonful of the filling on each leaf. Be sure to show off those colorful toppings like green onions, peanuts, and cilantro. You want it to look as good as it tastes!
- Devour! Grab the edges of the lettuce leaf, fold it, and take a big bite. Enjoy every crunchy, flavorful second!
