1 Tbs. freshly squeezed lime juice
1 Tbs. extra virgin olive oil

Method:

1. Combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, sesame oil and lime juice. Set aside.

2. In a wok or large sauté pan over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add scallions, garlic and ginger and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add ground or prepared shredded chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink.

3. Add half of the reserved sauce mixture to chicken and stir to combine, cooking about 2 minutes more.

4. Arrange lettuce leaves on large platter and spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the chicken mixture into each “lettuce wrap”.

5. Top with shredded carrot, cilantro and basil.

6. Serve with remaining sauce on the side for drizzling.
