Creating Rainbow Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps is easy if you follow these steps:

2. Sauté Onion and Garlic: Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
3. Cook Chicken: Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken. Cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a spoon.
4. Add Vegetables: Stir in the diced bell peppers, grated carrots, and green onions. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften.
5. Mix the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, fish sauce (if using), lime juice, and grated ginger. Stir well.
6. Combine: Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes.
7. Add Cilantro: Remove from heat and mix in the chopped cilantro for added freshness.
8. Prepare Lettuce: Carefully separate the leaves of the lettuce, rinsing and drying them thoroughly.
9. Assemble Wraps: Place a generous spoonful of the chicken mixture into the center of a lettuce leaf.
10. Roll and Serve: Wrap the lettuce around the filling and enjoy immediately, either as is or accompanied by additional sauces.
