Mango Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Print Recipe

Light, refreshing Mango Chicken Lettuce Wraps combine sweet mango, tender shredded chicken, and crisp butter-lettuce leaves for a quick weeknight meal or crowd-pleasing appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 1/2 lime)
  • 1 tbsp gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 head butter lettuce (about 12 large leaves), leaves separated and rinsed
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chopped roasted cashews for crunch

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together lime juice, tamari, honey, ginger, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add shredded chicken, diced mango, red bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro to the bowl; toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed (add more lime for brightness or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness).
  4. Lay lettuce leaves on a platter. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the mango-chicken mixture into the center of each leaf.
  5. Top with chopped roasted cashews if using. Fold or roll the lettuce around the filling and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Swap chicken for firm tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.
  • Romaine hearts or iceberg leaves work if butter lettuce isn’t available.
  • Add a dash of sriracha or chili flakes for heat.
  • Keep filling and lettuce separate until serving to maintain crispness.
