Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil

  • 1 pound ground chicken

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

  • 1/4 cup coconut aminos (or tamari as an alternative)

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 head butter lettuce or romaine lettuce, leaves separated and washed

  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

  • Lime wedges, for garnish

Instructions

  • Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.

  • Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until aromatic.

  • Add ground chicken to the skillet. Break it up with a spatula and cook until no longer pink, about 7–8 minutes.

  • Season with salt and pepper. Pour in coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

  • Remove from heat once the sauce thickens slightly and coats the chicken evenly.

  • To serve, spoon the chicken mixture into lettuce leaves.

  • Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds, and lime wedges.

Notes

  • Butter lettuce is soft and ideal for wraps, but romaine offers more crunch if preferred.

  • Coconut aminos are a great low-carb alternative to soy sauce, but tamari can be used for a deeper flavor.

  • For extra richness, add a spoonful of nut butter or a dash of chili garlic sauce.

  • Leftovers store well for up to 4 days and can be reheated and served in fresh lettuce.
