Wrap it up!

After our holiday road trip I've been trying to make healthy dishes for dinner and trying not to eat too many carbs at night, so last week I made one of our favorites: Lettuce wraps!

These are super easy and delicious. Here is my super simple recipe:

INGREDIENTS::

_ 3 chicken breasts

_ soy sauce

_ lemon juice

_ 4 garlic cloves

_ 1/2 chopped yellow onion

_ 1/2 chopped red pepper

_ 1/2 chopped green pepper

_ fresh ginger

_ 1/2 cup of sliced carrots (i used mini carrot sticks)

_ salt, pepper, chili powder, chili flakes (plus anything you like!)

_ lettuce (i like boston lettuce because it can hold the chicken nicely)

_ extras: cilantro, green onions, cashews

DIRECTIONS::

_ Cut up the chicken breast in small pieces and if you have time, marinate it in some soy sauce, lemon juice, salt & pepper

_ Saute chopped garlic, peppers and onions until tender. Add the chicken and let it brown

_ Add the ginger, the spices and the carrots (i like to add them last to keep them crunchy)

_ At this point I usually add a little bit of water or chicken stock if I have. Just enough so it all comes together and you get a nice little extra juice.

_ Cut the head of lettuce in half, then in half again and put some leafs in a plate (be delicate so they don't break)

_Extras: I like to cut up some scallions, cilantro and crush a few cashews.

I like bringing all the things to the table, that way everybody can make their own. Make sure you have some good hot sauce too to give it a little kick. Feel free to add more veggies or any spices you like. You can totally make this whole think mexican style and add some black beans. Be creative!
