Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
When I first heard of chicken lettuce wraps, I have to admit, I was a teeny bit skeptical. Lettuce wraps were for those “healthy” people. You know the ones. I’m more of a “let’s wrap that in cake” kind of gal. But after a few trips to PF Chang’s, I was hooked. I’ll probably experiment …
