Ginger. Sriracha. Chicken. What a delicious trio.
Now imagine these three heaven-sent ingredients mixed inside a nice lettuce wrap…
Sounds like the perfect combo to me.
Not only do you get a nice protein boost from the chicken, but you also skimp out on the extra carbs that a tortilla or bread would add to this meal.
Plus, sriracha and ginger add two high-flying kicks to these wraps, making them nothing short of flavorful.
You ready to see how these awesome sriracha concoctions are made? Let’s dive into this week’s recipe: ginger sriracha chicken lettuce wraps.
