Lettuce wrap bowl ingredients:

Rice noodles: I love using rice noodles for a gluten free healthier starch to help fill you up a little. 

Iceberg lettuce: You can also use romaine. Any crisp lettuce works great. 

Chicken tenderloins: I like to use chicken tenderloins because they cook really quickly and are tender and succulent. 

Carrots: I love to either julienne them or shave into ribbons with a vegetable peeler. 

Snap peas: These add a delicious crunch as well. I like to cut them into 1 inch pieces or so to make them easier to eat. 

Hoisin sauce: Adds so much delicious flavor. If you eat gluten free look for the gluten free version. 

Bragg aminos or soy sauce: I love bragg aminos as a gluten free version. It’s delicious and healthier than soy sauce.
