I don’t know about you but I can do lettuce wraps every night of the week! Especially ones that are a thai style with peanuts!! PF changs used to be one of my favorite restaurants, so why not bring home the same style of lettuce wraps but home made!

This dish has tons of flavor and with the mixture of peanut butter leaves your mouth watering for more but your tummy satiated and fulfilled!

Wrap them in lettuce or even throw it on a salad!
