Cooking for Dads: Chinese Tacos, Macadamia Lettuce Wraps recipe

Chinese Tacos, Macadamia Lettuce Wraps

Cut one breast of chicken into thirds lengthwise, then cut those strips into bite size chunks.

Place in bowl and add:

a little salt and pepper

1 spoonful sesame oil

1 spoonful rice vinegar

1 spoonful soy sauce

Stir to combine and let marinate for 1-4 hours.

Prepare 4 large romaine lettuce leaves.

Chop 1 1/2 inches cucumber into small pieces.

Chop 1/2 yellow pepper into small pieces.

Chop 1 handful macadamia nuts.

Heat up a little sesame oil in a frying pan and add your garlic, cooking for 15 secs then the chicken mixture.

Cook until done, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and add 2 to 3 spoonfuls of hoisin sauce and stir.

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, nuts, cucumber and yellow pepper.

Place in lettuce wraps and enjoy. They have about 60 calories per taco.

(If in a hurry you can forgo the marinade and just cooke he chicken and add the hoisin sauce. It's still really good)
