Instructions:

1. Cook the Chicken:
   • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the oil.
   • Add garlic and ginger; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Add the diced chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
2. Add Sauce and Veggies:
   • Lower the heat and add soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey (if using). Stir to coat the chicken.
   • Add the grated carrot and bell pepper. Cook for 2 more minutes until just tender but still crisp.
   • Add green onions and sesame seeds. Stir everything together and remove from heat.
3. Assemble the Lettuce Tacos:
   • Wash and dry the lettuce leaves carefully.
   • Spoon the chicken mixture into each lettuce leaf.
   • Top with fresh cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a touch of sriracha or chili flakes if you like it spicy.
