Ground Chicken Lettuce Wraps

THESE have been my favorite lettuce wraps, but there's a new favorite in town.

The sauce for these were over the top delicious! The hoisin makes the sauce. It's a bit sweeter and a bit more savory, but the balance is perfect. 

These will be on the favorite list for this year for sure.
