For the chicken

1 lb ground chicken
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp harissa paste
1 tsp orange zest
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp salt

For the tahini drizzle

3 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp water, plus more to thin
¼ tsp salt

For the rolls

1 head butter lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup shredded carrots
1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced into matchsticks
¼ cup fresh mint leaves
¼ cup fresh cilantro leaves

For serving

Instructions

1
Make the tahini drizzle: whisk together the tahini, 2 tbsp orange juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small bowl until smooth and pourable. Add water 1 tsp at a time if needed to reach a consistency that drizzles easily. Set aside.
