Recipe: Asian Inspired Lettuce Wraps

You'll Need:

About 2 cups of cooked chicken (white and dark meat)
1 cup roasted peanuts
1 can of water chestnuts
Juice from one lime
1 tsp. ground ginger
1 small, whole roasted hot pepper, ground up
Several large leafs of lettuce for wrapping (HEB sells them ready to go)
1-2 cups soy sauce

To Do:

Place all ingredients except lettuce into food processor and process until well blended. The texture will be similar to kitty litter (I know, appetizing, but that's the best analogy I can think of).

Heat the mixture in the microwave for 2-3 minutes, stirring once during cooking.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the lettuce leafs.

NOM!

This recipe is super simple and provides a filling meal for two or three people. Feel free to add or substitute other Asian inspired ingredients you have on hand. A little sriracha on top adds a little spice and extra moisture as well.
