Lettuce Wraps- Easy as 3-2-1


A quick, easy and healthy lunch is lettuce wraps. I found a SUPER simple way to make them at home. First you have to use Butter Lettuce or Romaine leaves. Iceberg is too crunchy and breaks apart when you try to fold it over and has no taste at all.
Then get canned chicken (you'll find it in the aisle with Tuna). Drain it and mashed it up with a fork if you like smaller bite sizes, like me.

Now here is the 3,2,1 part. For the sauce combine 3 tablespoons of Hosin, 2 table spoons of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Then spoon the chicken into the lettuce cups, top with the sauce and then use crushed peanuts or chow mien noodles for little extra crunch.

You can always mix in some water chestnuts or some green onion for extra flavor. There are many different, yet still just as easy variations you can do on this recipe. But for me the quick and easy is the best way to go.
