Instructions
 

Pickled Cucumbers + Carrots

  • Combine water, vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Add carrot and cucumber. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Drain and add to wraps.

Shredded Chicken

  • Combine chicken seasonings together in a small ramekin.
  • Sprinkle each side of chicken breasts with salt.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Place chicken breasts in the pan.
  • Let brown, undisturbed for 4-5 minutes. Flip chicken and brown for another 4-5 min.
  • Add vinegar, water and seasonings to the pan. Cook until internal temp reaches 165F.
  • Remove chicken to cutting board and shred.
  • Add to wraps.

Banh Mi Avocado Mayo

  • Combine avocado, oil, water, lime juice, fish sauce and salt in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add to wraps.

Wraps + Garnish

  • Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves before stuffing with ingredients.
  • Chop cilantro and add to wraps.

Notes

  • If chicken breasts are large, cut into smaller, thinner chunks before cooking.
  • Daikon radishes would do great with this pickling process if you can find them!
  • If you can tolerate bread, try a roll or baguette. Hollow out the middle and stuff with these ingredients!
