Lettuce wraps are so versatile! The possibilities for ingredient combinations are limitless! So I suggest that you have a lettuce wrap party with your family. The hardest part of this is laying out the ingredients—and of course deciding which lettuces, meats, vegetables and toppings to offer. Each person assembles their own wrap and shows off their creativity. You will get credit for a delicious and fun meal. Send me a note to let me know of the lettuce wrap ingredients you come up with. Enjoy!
Ingredients: These are only suggestions. Think of things your family enjoys and include those.
Lettuce: Iceberg (be careful to not tear the large pieces as you wash them) Remove the core, wash and separate into large individual pieces to serve as the wraps.
Romaine –Crunchier but not as easy to wrap.
Bibb, Boston—Softer
Meats: All meats should be cooked and cooled enough to not wilt the lettuce.
Vegetarian: black beans, chickpeas, kidney beans, lentils, etc…
Chicken (pictured above)

Instructions:
