Who doesn't love a lettuce wrap? This meal can fit into (or be modified to) any diet. They are a perfect end to a hot summer day. We like to whip these up for an easy lunch. We don't mind them cool which makes them a great meal for our road trips.
Most recipes call for ground chicken, I prefer a small dice of thighs instead. You can increase or decrease the spice according to you own personal taste.
