Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken (or cooked shredded chicken breast)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 1/2 bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos (or soy sauce)

- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 large lettuce leaves (e.g., iceberg or butter lettuce)
Instructions:
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and browned.
