Instructions

Begin by shredding the leftover rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat.

2

Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of minced ginger to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3

Stir in the shredded chicken, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of sriracha, mixing well to combine.

4

Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken is heated through. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the avocado-cilantro cream by blending 1 ripe avocado, 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a food processor until smooth.

5

To assemble, take a large lettuce leaf and spoon a generous amount of the spicy chicken mixture into the center.

6

Drizzle with the avocado-cilantro cream and top with sliced radishes and chopped peanuts for added crunch.

Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful fusion wraps!
