Crunchy Thai Lettuce Wraps

I'm over the winter. Can we pretend that it's summer? And that we're on vacation?

I don't know what it is about these thai lettuce wraps, but they take me there. You know where.

That super fun, relaxing place where you can be carefree and have Sriracha on your chin and not even care? Yup, there.

These thai lettuce wraps are super simple to make, and you can be as creative as you want with the toppings. Swap the chicken for shrimp, or forgo meat completely for a vegetarian meal. Add shredded carrots instead of the zucchini. You get the idea. I love serve-it-yourself type dishes, like sushi and tacos, and this one is right up there.

So grab your lettuce wrap and hold tight. Faux-cation, here we come...

Crunchy Thai Lettuce Wraps

Serves 2-4

1/4 bag of thai noodles (or thin spagetti noodles)
1 cooked chicken breast, diced
1 bunch romaine lettuce, washed
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup peanut sauce
Sriracha and/or red pepper flakes
1 zucchini, shredded
limes for garnish

Cook noodles according to directions, drain, and let cool. Add peanut sauce and mix until thoroughly coated. Cut bottom 1-2 inches off lettuce slices. Line all ingredients up (think: taco bar!) and let your family serves themselves.
