Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps
Chicken & Cashew Lettuce Wraps.
Do you ever pick something up to take a bite and quickly realize there’s no putting it down? It’s just too yummy to stop or too messy to chance a reload. I find this is the case with most cupcakes, wrap sandwiches, corn on the cob, tacos, and definitely lettuce wraps. This dish needs to be eaten at the table, with family & friends, where you can lean over your plate, lick your fingers, and not worry about a napkin until you’ve taken the last bite.
I probably should have addressed this in one of my first posts, but generally speaking we adjust recipes and cook for two (though occasionally we eat for four). For the lettuce wraps I like bibb lettuce because it’s more pliable, however iceberg lettuce cups are great too and have a nice crunch.
This dish is super easy and really great fun to eat and share with friends.
