Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Submitted by Sooz Cooks

"I have been looking for something lower carb with crunch and this does the trick! It is pretty spicy so you can cut the chili-garlic sauce (Sriacha) down to 1 teaspoon and add a teaspoon of either soy or teriyaki sauce if you want a milder version. Prep time does not include cooking and shredding the chicken"

I make these at least once a month! I add extra teriyaki sauce and extra saracha because like it a little more moist and spicy. So good :)
