I came up with this recipe after eating something similar in an LA restaurant. The flavors are a great mix of peppery, citrusy and fresh/crunchy! It's fun to eat too, so it's great for parties. Hope you like it!

Ingredients
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
  • 1 1/2 lbs fresh ground (not packaged!) chicken
  • toasted sesame oil, 5T or more
  • red pepper flakes, about 3/4 T
  • coarse-ground black pepper, about 1 T
  • sea salt to taste
  • Tabasco sauce (only!), about 1 t
  • small handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
  • green apple, very tart, 1/2 large or 3/4 small, diced
  • low salt soy sauce, 1-2T

Directions
  1. Heat a large skillet to med-high, add oil
  2. add chicken, sear slightly, then turn down to med. heat
  3. add red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt and soy
  4. add more oil if chicken is sticking--don't let the chicken brown, it should remain pale (no pink!) and crumbly
  5. turn to low heat and simmer 10--15 minutes-do not overcook!
  6. turn off heat, add Tabasco and stir
  7. add cilantro and cold green apple
  8. transfer to a serving bowl
  9. tear lettuce leaves into roughly 8" "rounds" and serve on a separate platter
  10. to serve: spoon chicken mixture evenly along the center of lettuce cups, fold leaves inward to make tubes--and eat!
  11. makes enough for 2 or 3 as a main, will serve 6 as appetizers.
