Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 cup cabbage, shredded

Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and minced ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground chicken to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the grated carrot and shredded cabbage, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Mix in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar, ensuring everything is well combined.

Remove the skillet from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
To assemble the wraps, spoon the chicken mixture into the center of each butter lettuce leaf.
Sprinkle each wrap with toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture before serving.
