I'm not a big fan of lettuce wraps, but these were actually really good! The chicken was flavorful and the lettuce was a nice, refreshing contrast.

The chicken was a little dry, but the overall flavor of the wraps was good. I think I'll try adding some more sauce next time.

These wraps were a little too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper next time.

I made these wraps with ground turkey instead of chicken and they were still delicious! I also added some chopped vegetables to the filling.

These wraps are a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken in the fridge and these wraps were the perfect way to use it up.

I wasn't sure how I would feel about the lettuce wraps, but they were actually really good! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the lettuce was a nice, refreshing contrast.
