    Keto Friendly PF Chang Lettuce Wraps

    Well, Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone. Did you overindulge? I sure did! Now I’m ready for something light, something a little refreshing. These quick and easy lettuce wraps are just the thing. They’re so good every single time I just want to keep making them again and again!

    Though we haven’t been eating out during all this pandemic madness, sometimes I still crave my favorite restaurant dishes. Fortunately I like to cook! After these belly bursting holidays, those delicious PF Chang lettuce wraps came drifting into my mind. Perfect low carb dinner contender! Plus, they’re a fun meal, so your kids won’t complain about eating light. 😉

    But are they Keto?

    According to the PF Chang website nutritional info, their original lettuce wraps are pretty loaded with carbs. That’s a bit much for my after-holiday goals. Today I’m going to make a few sauce and veggie substitutions for a low carb bomb!

    What kind of meat to use?

    Traditionally, these wraps are made with ground chicken, which I am using today. I have tried them with ground pork and beef also and they are equally delicious. Use whatever is on hand. Or, try finely diced chicken. You can also make a great meatless Monday option with cauliflower or mushrooms.

    Ingredients

    • Ground Chicken
    • Onion
    • Green Onions
    • Mushrooms
    • Bell Pepper – Red today, but use whatever you prefer.
    • Aromatics – Ginger & garlic.
    • Sauces – Tamari, chili garlic, white vinegar.
    • Monk fruit sweetener – Optional.
    • Cilantro
    • Boston or butter lettuce

    This is real quick…

    1. Give your onion a quick sauté, till it turns translucent.
    2. Add chicken and sauté for a few minutes.
    3. Add veggies, aromatics and sauces. Cook for a few minutes till chicken is fully cooked. garnish with cilantro and green onions.
    4. Scoop mixture into lettuce leaves. DONE!

    Storing and using leftovers

    This is a wonderful meal prep option. Sometimes I double the recipe and have easy lunches or dinners for days. Just refrigerate cooked meat mixture in an airtight container for up to four days. When the craving hits, just take out however much you want and re heat on stovetop or in the microwave then get wrapping!

    Other options for the leftover meat mixture: have it over cauliflower rice or use it in stuffed zucchini! 🙂

    Variations

    1. As stated above, this is great with any type of ground meat or finely diced chicken.
    2. Spice it up with a little sriracha or red chili flakes.
    3. Give it a Korean twist by adding 1 Tbsp Gochujang paste.
