Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 ripe mango, diced
  • 8–10 butter lettuce leaves, rinsed and patted dry
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • Optional: 1/2 tsp chili flakes or 1 fresh jalapeño, diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook the chicken breasts or thighs by grilling, pan-searing, or poaching until fully cooked and tender. Allow the chicken to cool slightly, then dice or shred into bite-sized pieces for easy assembly.
  2. Chop the Fresh Ingredients: Dice the ripe mango and red bell pepper into small cubes. Roughly chop the fresh cilantro and mince the garlic and ginger to bring brightness and aroma to the wraps.
  3. Make the Flavorful Sauce: In a small bowl, combine lime juice, soy sauce or tamari, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add chili flakes or diced jalapeño if you prefer a spicy kick. This sauce will blend all the flavors together.
  4. Mix Filling: Toss the diced chicken, mango, bell pepper, and cilantro with the prepared sauce until everything is well coated, ensuring each bite is flavorful and balanced.
  5. Assemble the Wraps: Gently separate the butter lettuce leaves and spoon the chicken mango filling onto each leaf. Fold them into handheld wraps and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crunch.

Notes

  • Choose ripe mangoes for maximum sweetness and juiciness.
  • Pat lettuce leaves dry to prevent sogginess.
  • Allow the chicken mixture to marinate briefly for enhanced flavor.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to keep them vibrant.
  • Serve the wraps chilled or at room temperature based on preference.
