These wraps were a little too messy for my taste. The lettuce leaves kept falling apart and the chicken was hard to keep inside the wrap.

I'm not a big fan of lettuce wraps, but I really enjoyed these. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were fresh and flavorful.

I love that this recipe uses ground chicken. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken or to make a healthier version of these wraps.

These wraps were really easy to make, but they didn't taste as good as I thought they would. The chicken was a little dry and the vegetables were bland.

I had a hard time finding hoisin sauce at my local grocery store, but I was able to find it online. It was definitely worth the extra effort because the wraps were so delicious.
