Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 mL)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (about 70 g)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 6 g)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup cauliflower rice (150 g), fresh or frozen
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (30 mL), or coconut aminos for gluten-free option
  • 1 tablespoon Sriracha sauce (15 mL), adjust to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (5 mL)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 head romaine or butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • 2 green onions, sliced (garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  2. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring continuously until garlic is fragrant.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high and add 1 lb ground chicken, cooking for 6–8 minutes while breaking apart with a spatula until browned.
  4. Stir in diced red bell pepper and cauliflower rice, cooking for 3–4 minutes until vegetables soften.
  5. Whisk together soy sauce, Sriracha, and sesame oil; pour over mixture and cook for 2 minutes to coat.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, spoon into lettuce leaves, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Notes

For juicier filling, choose ground chicken with a bit of fat or add a splash of chicken broth while cooking. Store filling in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
