Instructions
- In a large wok (or non-stick skillet), heat oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook for 30 seconds, then add the ground chicken. Cook the chicken, crumbling and breaking apart the meat as it cooks.
- Add the green onions, lemongrass, cashews, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Toss well to ensure everything is coated. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from the heat and top with cilantro.
- To serve: Separate the leaves of lettuce and rinse them with warm water; pat dry. Spoon the filling into the center of a lettuce leaf and slightly fold the lettuce and eat them like you would a taco!

Notes
How to Store Leftovers: Keep the lettuce leaves separate from the filling. Let the chicken filling cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 4 days.
How to Reheat: Warm the filling on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through. Assemble wraps just before eating so the lettuce stays nice and crunchy!
How to Freeze: This filling also freezes great! Once fully cooled, transfer it to a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag, pressing out the extra air, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating for best results.
