What is the best lettuce for lettuce wraps?

You can use any type of green leafy lettuce for lettuce wraps, but popular types of lettuce include Boston bib lettuce and romaine hearts. The great thing about lettuce wraps is that they are easily modifiable when it comes to the filling and the wrapping. Cabbage leaves would also be a yummy substitute.

Make Ahead Instructions:

All of the veggies can be chopped ahead, and the sauce can be made 2-3 days in advance. This is a great recipe for meal prep, as leftovers will keep in the fridge for several days and taste great reheated.

Recipe Variations:

  • Vegetables: This recipe is easily adaptable to use what you have in your fridge. Add other chopped veggies, like celery, bok choy, bean sprouts, shredded Brussels sprouts, zucchini, or summer squash.Sauté the veggies until tender when you add them to the skillet. If you add a lot of extra veggies to this recipe, you may want to make a little more sauce.
  • Meat: Substitute the chicken for ground turkey or pork.
  • Vegetarian: Substitute the meat for tofu, or leave it out completely, adding extra veggies instead.
