Tabañero's Chicken Lettuce Wraps
This chicken might be wrapped in lettuce, but it’s saturated with excitement. That’s right–Tabañero hot sauce can turn even the most unassuming lettuce wrap into a rebelliously spicy snack. Ginger, garlic, and coconut aminos give the chicken filling a tangy kick, while fresh, crispy lettuce offers ample structural support for a heavy-handed serving. Don’t let lettuce wraps’ innocent exterior fool you, though. Once you drizzle our homemade dipping sauce on these babies, there’s nothing tame about the taste. A blended medley of dijon mustard, Tabañero Extra Hot Sauce, and coconut aminos slams the gas pedal on your joyride of flavor. Want to ramp up the thrill even more? An extra dash (or two) of Tabañero does the trick!
