better than pf changs lettuce wraps

Y’all know we love a good lettuce wrap around here… not only do they bring variety to our taco tuesdays, but they are just so good.

PF changs has the og chinese chicken wraps, but this version? Blows them out of the water, if I do say so myself. And, I do.

They make for the perfect quick and easy week night meal.
