This keto-friendly hoisin chicken lettuce wrap is so delicious, easy and quick to make, that you might consider having it multiple times a week.

But ultimately, the lovely ground chicken cooked in hoisin sauce and a bit of soy will create such a punch that you will want wrap after wrap. There are no secrets here, just rapid fire action. It all came about when I saw an extra lettuce head I had not used and thought it would be a great opportunity so tingle the kids' taste buds and see if they would like lettuce wraps or if they would prefer the carbs. The younger one preferred it on bread, but the older loved the wrap. I'm sure the younger's buds will grow to like this in the future.
