 I won’t beat around the bush with all of you amazing moms out there.  My kids were horrified when I placed this in front of them and told them to eat it like a burrito.  My oldest son just kept asking why couldn’t he put it in a tortilla and eat it like a real burrito?!?!  My four year old made a huge mess when she took a bite and it all fell apart in her lap.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Apparently none of them have had the pleasure of eating at PF Chang’s and enjoying their amazing lettuce wraps!  These aren’t as good as theirs but I think they would be much closer if they came with a dipping sauce like the restaurant offers.  I’m going to search around for a sauce recipe and try them again because they definitely have great potential and were really quick to throw together!

    Definitely let us know if you find a sauce you like…I’ll have to try this recipe sometime.

    PF Chang’s lettuce wraps are our favorite – even finding something that comes close would be worth the effort!
