Notes
- This ground chicken is great in lettuce wraps, but you can easily serve it over rice for a fuller meal if you prefer.
- To make these chicken lettuce wraps gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari in place of the soy sauce.
- The sriracha is optional. If you are sensitive to spicy foods you can omit it. If you like things spicy, you can add some extra sriracha to top the wraps.
