Instructions

To Make The Carrot Slaw

  • Add the carrots, chopped cilantro, and sliced green onions to a small mixing bowl. Toss them to evenly combine.
  • To another small mixing bowl add the vinegar, mayonnaise, and chili sauce. Whisk together until the sauce is evenly combined.
  • Pour the dressing over the carrot mixture, and toss until evenly combined. Set aside.

To Make The Asian Lettuce Wraps

  • Prepare the meatballs according to the package instructions. Let them cool so they're warm, but not hot.
  • Take one cleaned lettuce leaf, and add a heaping spoonful of carrot slaw. Spread it out evenly along the center of the leaf. Add a couple of meatballs.
  • Squeeze a lime wedge out overtop (optional), then sprinkle on cilantro leaves and sliced green onions. Drizzle with sriracha sauce.
  • Continue until you've assembled the desired amount of lettuce wraps.
  • Serve & enjoy!

Notes

  • I don't recommend making the slaw too far in advance. It's best if you make it right before you start heating up the meatballs.
  • Save yourself time and make sure you are using matchstick or julienned carrots instead of shredding your own.
  • Hate cilantro? It's totally fine to skip it.
