Black Pepper Free Ginger-Scallion Chicken Lettuce Wraps

These wraps are bright, fresh, and packed with bold flavor — and not a single crack of the pepper mill required. The filling gets its warmth from fresh grated ginger, ground ginger, and turmeric, so there's genuine depth and a little heat without relying on black pepper at all. Ground chicken soaks up a glossy sauce made from coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and honey, thickened with arrowroot starch until it clings to every bite. Shredded carrots and diced zucchini add color and a satisfying crunch, while scallions layered in at two different stages keep the flavor lively from start to finish. Spooned into cool, crisp butter lettuce cups and finished with a squeeze of lime, the whole thing feels like something you'd order at a restaurant — except you made it at home and know exactly what went into it. It's a great reminder that skipping one common spice doesn't mean skipping flavor; it just means getting a little more creative with everything else.
