Ingredients
  

1 lb ground chicken

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 bell pepper (red or yellow), diced

1 carrot, shredded

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 mango, ripe and diced

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon lime juice

1 head of butter lettuce or iceberg lettuce, leaves separated

Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Chopped peanuts or cashews, for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Mango Glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced mango, honey, lime juice, and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the mango is soft and the mixture has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

    Cook the Chicken Mixture: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 2-3 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger, cooking for an additional minute.

      Add the Vegetables: Incorporate the diced bell pepper and shredded carrot into the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften.

        Brown the Chicken: Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink.

          Season the Mixture: Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. Cook for another minute to ensure everything is well combined and heated through.

            Assemble the Wraps: Take a lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the chicken mixture in the center. Drizzle a bit of the mango glaze over the top, and sprinkle with fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts or cashews, if using.

              Serve: Roll or fold the lettuce around the filling and enjoy! These wraps can be served immediately as a fresh, healthy meal or appetizer.
