Y.U.M.

This recipe is one of my new favorites, because

1. It’s crazy easy. Making it PERFECT for a week night dinner.

Let’s start with the peanut sauce. Which, btw, you can TOTALLY make in advance.

How do you make an easy peanut sauce for thai lettuce wraps?

You can see the full recipe here, but basically, all you do to make an easy peanut sauce is whisk together:

• All natural peanut butter
• Seasoned rice vinegar
• Lime juice
• Soy sauce – use a gluten free variety if you’re gluten free
• Fish sauce
• Sesame oil
• Sriracha
• Garlic powder
• Ground ginger

Done! I always make a big batch, so I can use it in multiple recipes throughout the week.

Can I use any kind of meat in these wraps?

Yes! I recommend ground turkey or chicken, but pork or even beef would probably be delicious, too!

Are these thai chicken wraps spicy?

They can be!

If you want to make these wraps spicier, just add more sriracha or even a few red pepper flakes. If you don’t want to make these wraps spicy at all, just lessen or omit the sriracha.
