Wrap Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add diced chicken breast and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through. Stir in hoisin sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes until well coated.

  2. 2

    Pickle the Carrots

    In a bowl, combine julienned carrots, grated ginger, and a pinch of salt. Let sit for at least 10 minutes to pickle lightly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wraps

    Wash and separate the leaves of butter lettuce. Lay them flat on a serving platter.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Wraps

    In each lettuce leaf, layer a spoonful of the garlic chicken, pickled carrots, avocado slices, mango slices, chopped cilantro, and sliced scallions.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the wraps with black bean vinaigrette drizzled over the top or on the side for dipping.
