Chicken Lettuce Wraps




4-6 Chicken Thighs or ground beef (minced, I use my Pampered Chef Chopper)

1/4 c matchstick carrots (In salad section of produce)

2 T fresh minced ginger (I used 1T ground ginger)

1/4 c low sodium Soy Sauce

1 T rice vinegar

1/4 t sesame oil

1/8 t crushed red pepper

1/2 c thinly sliced green onion

1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro (I’ve used dried)

ice burg lettuce leaves

optional: sliced cucumbers

Directions:



Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add meat, carrots and ginger. Saute until meat is cooked. Drain if necessary, and return meat mixture to pan. Stir in soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil and red pepper. Cook about 1 minute, remove from heat and stir in green onions and cilantro.



Serve with lettuce leaves and sliced cucumbers.



Freezing: I usually make a double batch of this and then freeze portions in Ziploc bags. Thaw when ready to eat and just reheat in skillet until warmed!
