Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken
4 cups pre-packaged southern slaw (14 oz)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 head of lettuce

Instructions

Cook the ground chicken, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 1 clove of minced garlic in a medium skillet on medium-high heat for about 9 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink. While the chicken is cooking, use a spatial to break up and stir the chicken into small bite-size pieces.
Remove chicken from heat and add 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1/4 teaspoon of chili paste. Stir until the soy sauce and chili paste is well mixed into the chicken.
Set the chicken aside.
Heat avocado oil in a medium skillet on medium-high heat for about 1 minute.

Add the chicken into the slaw. Stir for about 2 minutes or until the chicken and slaw is evenly mixed and warm.
Wash and pat lettuce dry with a paper towel.
Carefully pull off each individual leaf. Keep each leaf whole if possible, but don’t worry if it tears a little. It will still taste fantastic.
To make a lettuce wrap, add about a 1/2 a cup of the chicken-slaw mixture into a lettuce leaf, and fold the leaf just like you would a traditional wrap .
