Thai Time

Want something that sounds exotic, tastes great and takes just minutes to make? Then this is the dish for you.

Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

1 tablespoon olive oil (can also use coconut oil)

1/2 onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced ( Except I don't mince. I use a garlic press. Shhh__don't tell)

5 scallions, sliced in rounds

1/2 pint mushrooms, chopped in small bits

1 pound ground chicken (use turkey if it is easier to find)

1 tablespoon Sriracha

2 tablespoons coconut aminos (can use soy sauce instead)

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

sprinkle or more of dried red peppers (I love hot stuff but you can eliminate this)

clean dry lettuce leaves (Boston Bibb, butter, or red leaf all work well)

This is about the easiest thing you can make for a quick dinner that tastes like you actually slaved over it.

Put the olive oil in a skillet, bring to medium high heat, and add the chopped onion. Cook until it is translucent than add the garlic stirring quickly so it will not burn. Toss in the scallions and mushrooms and stir until they are soft, then add the chicken cooking it until there is no pink. Add all the liquids and the red pepper flakes, cook for a couple of minutes stirring the entire time. Turn the heat off and let it sit for a minute or 2, plate it with lettuce leaves, serve and enjoy!

There is no right or wrong way to form your wraps. I tend to fill mine in the middle like a burrito and tuck the ends in. TheHub makes a neat little package with his.  It doesn't matter because it tastes the same either way___delicious.

Thai wraps, sliced tomatoes and cukes with a sprinkle of Everything But the Bagel* seasoning and called it a meal.

* You can buy it at Trader Joe's, Aldi has a version with a different name, or make it yourself
