Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

1 cup carrots, grated or finely chopped

3 green onions, sliced (white and green parts separated)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 head of butter or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Lettuce: Carefully separate the leaves of the lettuce head and rinse them gently under cool water. Pat dry and set aside on a clean kitchen towel.

    Cook the Ground Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Add Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to break it up.

        Incorporate Veggies: Add the chopped red bell pepper, grated carrots, and the white parts of the green onions to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.

          Flavor it Up: Pour in the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Stir until everything is well-coated and simmer for about 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Sprinkle in the sesame seeds.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or hoisin sauce if needed.

              Assemble the Wraps: To serve, spoon a generous amount of the ground chicken mixture onto the center of a lettuce leaf. Top with a few green onion tops and fresh cilantro leaves.

                Wrap and Enjoy: Fold the lettuce wrap and enjoy immediately, or you can serve with a side of extra hoisin sauce for dipping!
